Outdoor sports can be so diverse. Outdoor sports facilities and public spaces that are used for sport and exercise allow for a variety of forms of exercise and sports. As different as the facilities are, the infrastructure they require faces similar challenges in terms of planning, construction and operation. Sustainability and climate adaptation are of great importance in planning. However, design measures that take into account the functional quality of sport also require creativity and innovation. At this year's IAKS Outdoor specialist seminar, we want to present best practice examples and findings from research and discuss with participants how we can work together to design the sports facilities of the future.
