N1 - Funding Information: The specific results for the Nuremberg Western City district shown in the first part of this paper originate from the collaborative work of a project team at Technische Universit?t M?nchen consisting of members of the Centre and Chair of Energy-Efficient and Sustainable Planning and Building (ENPB), the Department of Urban Structure and Transport Planning, the Chair for Sustainable Urbanism, the Chair for Spatial Development, the Chair for Landscape Architecture and Public Space, the Chair of Energy Economics and Application Technology, the Chair of Climate Design, the Chair of Building Physics and the Chair of Urban Design and Regional Planning. The City of Nuremberg with the support of the State of Bavaria provided funding for the project and helped obtain local information in a dialogue. The course described in the second part of the paper was developed and conducted through a collaboration of the first two authors with Judith Schinabeck. For the conceptual work on systems modelling, the first author received a grant from the Volkswagen Foundation for the project Parametric Systems Modelling?A Method for Performance-based and Strategic Building Design. Finally, the authors would like to thank Daniela Popp from ProLehre, the Department for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education at the TU M?nchen for her suggestions for Section 3.

N2 - Sustainable urban development requires a long-term sector-integrative approach. This paper proposes a method of system analysis and partial simulation for urban structures for this purpose. It couples a discussion-based holistic approach for systems analysis and modelling of urban structures with quantitative modelling and simulation of partial scenarios that serve to examine specific questions regarding the long-term development of urban structures. In the first part, the application in the City Lab Nuremberg West, a multidisciplinary urban research laboratory, serves to develop the methodology and its illustration. The main objective is to examine the transition of the existing underperforming quarter to a sustainable and livable urban environment. Scenario-based experiments with respect to development paths determine robustness and risks of different configurations. The second part of the paper describes the transfer of the methodology to education. The approach serves to teach students in the Energy-Efficient and Sustainable Building master course program an integrative way of planning a sustainable built environment. The definition of educational objectives concerning the students’ understanding and management of systemic interdependencies of sustainability help assess the use of the method in the classroom. The aim is to provide them with the competence to develop strategies for complex situations while planning a sustainable built environment.
