With tense Development Concrete in ashville to become dangerous reservoirs of hayes, its nearly impossible to cool them down. Because in the understood, the city of facades which reflect and tend to make the problem worse, publicity garza high temperatures, threaten now health. We need to cool down ice. Bear for say, if you have a gravel roof, make agreed for as long as Global Warming has been a reality. So has the strain of heat on our cities. But now god miss an architect. The coming up with some cool new solutions. With carson builds, is 27 meters above ground working on europes greenest, high rise hertz is a passionate god, not with his green facade. Hes providing and naturally conditioner in the heart of the city flood. Some funniest onion, the leaves are starting to retract and slowly dry out. None, but thanks to our watering system. A vessel there are also fresh usa clever become mm. This Shopping Center is called cool bogan to named after dusseldorf coon, exactly shopping area. The 30000 horn bean plants said to call to building to hampton noise and absorb Carbon Dioxide in their 1st summer. The plants are already feeling the heat. Theyre part of an effort to counteract increasing heat waves and gym in cities. A consequence of Climate Change. The whole means of only be for 6 months, so theyre still new. Theyre supplied by a special irrigation system. All nearly 35. 00 degrees has it running with 5 leaders a day for the tubs and 15 leaders per square meter for the michigan to last night outside. Whats that red outage most of the august . Im sure its a malfunction in the asset supply. Well have to go to the basement and vent it to us in the system uses a lot of water, 5000 cubic meters a year. But it has enormous benefits to city residence uses worth of of that water gets turned into coronel women. You noticed that when you walk around out there at one and if us near the facade, there are significantly cooler temperatures as well as humidity isnt so taken together. Its 5000 cubic meters of water. That the people of dusseldorf get back through the system book on thursdays unlike of and unlike air conditioners, the plants dont blow out hot in to the city. Heat increases have been traumatic from 1961 to 1990. The average for july was 16. 9 degrees celsius in the city is after that, it was 18. 3, an increase of 1. 4 degrees, vamped in part one of glass in high summer. Weve measured about 70 to 80 degrees celsius on glass steel shuttle behind. Here it might be 30 or 35 degrees that ive been involved. If you look at the leaves, theyre structured in such a way that they cant get hotter than 35 or 36 degrees from the ice because the cells would burst on and the moisture would cool things down again. If you know, but thats also why they have a cooling, a fax of us. Its just how nature works. So i feel fortunate not one night. You too can experience suffering, and martin belts and his team still have what to do with the home. The implants, a few kilometers away at to source riverport, the landscape gardener is working on another project. He meets with architect christoph in hovan. He designed to proven to people with him on 4th level math. Now about this, we dont jump right into it in the fall, but we take a look together and decide whether we could do it before the new leaves come in the spring. Just, id like to look at it with you on site with it. I might infinite with some helps to pay. I have completed many pancakes together in an oven, and his architectural studio has focused on sustainable building since the 19 ninetys winning many awards. Now he wants to shake up urban planning on house balling, did you, when you build a house like this one, for example, when youre using up a piece of land, a piece of the earth, if you well, and you can think about the green mass that would be on the side as untouched forest, if you were to just leave it to its own devices for 50 years, nation forces management. So if we evaluate the ecological and social value of the nature that would otherwise be there, than we have to do something that compensates for us toward does docile to as long as its like the roof with the horn bean plants. But its not just city centers. Gemini, is Industrial Zones, need to become created to research is in once to land are about to take to the sky. And whats the humidity you push to 90 percent santia, 90 percent. And Evie Schneider is doing a fine a with a check. Its going to be hot and humid day perfect. The head project, the measurement engineer is going to fly over some specific Industrial Areas. It from the air should use the thermal imaging. Can she get precise tonisha from Industrial Facilities . Should be able to see the temperature values of individual companies, streets, and squares. These days many industrial signs dont ever probably cool down in summer. The project is run by a non profit. The bond summit shop with funding from germanys ministry for education and research. The goal is to reduce heat from Industrial Areas, making the more sustainable. Unless it does the alcohol cool, you can see that there is no cooling left. Its frightening, less if you can tell what it built up, re as like, and whether there are differences, whether fresh air can pass through, whether trees or a river have an effect. And how permeable surfaces are you can see a difference between tara and paved, or if its paved with granite because that heats up quite differently. The differences are there to see the thermal images, a precise with cooler areas, blue and hotter parts red. Down on the ground, uncle valentine is in the book halt, industrial zone. The thermal images help us. You convince local authorities and companies to make changes because Industrial Areas are quite literally hot spots either. There anyone who knows Industrial Areas knows that they have many parking lots and a lot of wide roads for the trucks and lots of stationary vehicles. Yeah. Theres a lot of space that simply covered with asphalt, which also means theres a lot of potential to change things with rising temperatures, the heat in these areas increasing the affects. The people who work here to in germany around 56 hectares of nature and countryside lost every day. Thats the size of 76. 00 football fields. The government had aim to reduce this figure to 30 heck to his by 2020. But thats now been postponed to 2030 this wild plant bed was only planted in the spring on co valentine is here to meet business owner, cotton. Ch. Malik. And gardner t o crunched him or theyre eager to see if the plants of already made a difference. Provo at off my 1st on lets see what the airplane brought us have to the read or it is the hot or it is, is the highest. And were here here. Heres the bed. Were on. Oh yes, nice in blue. Oh, well, monday im the thank you might think its the effect of summer passing. But the cooling effect is still really big light compared to the street, which is bright red. Not a lot of it was worth it happy. All right. You know, yes is. Are there any other places where you think you could change a couple of things . Yeah, of yes, one problem is that our Office Buildings are quite warm, letty farmers. And even more so on the production floor, sharlack is a medium sized Family Business that produces machinery. When temperatures outside your extreme welding can make the workplace seem like a furnace. Current malik wants to change that. Whether it is that high when its really hot, employees have the option of starting an hour earlier and leaving earlier in the afternoon occurred better working conditions. One thing. But if greener, Industrial Zones can reduce heat in the outer suburbs, it will also have an impact on the climate in the city centers. Thats why the company aims to gradually replace sealed surfaces with greenery. Sancho valentine also convinced the young entrepreneur to invest in a green roof. The 140 square meter flat roof is well suited to provide natural cooling right next to the factory. Without guns, its great that Something Like this is possible and these sorts of buildings. Oh, hold is 1. 00 to 10. 00 pilot municipalities. I mean to transform new industrialist states as response to Climate Change the im yeah cabled with its going to be a modular system. It no longer collect these boxes clicked together with just some matting underneath. And wendys a kiss. And the boxes will be lined up one after the other. Your photo, its easy to see the advantage you normally rainwater would flow right into this drain. But this system can retain 20 leaders of rain water per square meter, roughly thats all god that will provide additional cooling. Because the measurements show that the gravel, he was 29 degrees even with cloud cover. I think even these few plants a 3 degrees cooler. E ivy, im not sure of course it would be ideal if there were greenery everywhere. I will have to speak to the neighbors again that had from our to his book on a director vehicle then it would have an effect on the street. Its just the 1st step, like every little step helps you to manage that every little surface kind of the greening system, costs around 70. 00 euros per square meter. With the council, providing 10 is the subsidy. Its a start in other places, such efforts have long been Standard Practice to singapore government, supporting targeted efforts to bring nature back to the city. The city state is a pioneer. Its been greening high rise building since the 1960 s mm. Their gardens parks and greenery on all levels architect tolmas shop. The research is the effect such buildings have on people and the urban climate. The unknown there to boy the here at the interlaced complex, the arrangement of buildings contributes to optimal ventilation. The complex itself is already on a hill, and were also not far from the see. The more reassured that theres always a very nice breeze passing through which is used at the level of the complex as a whole, to cool the outdoor spaces, but also in the individual apartments where you have really nice across ventilation, keeping the building cool before the flu cinnapool requires buildings to have at least as much green space as was cleared to make way for construction. Otherwise, therell be no Building Permit truck for and his colleague also research the effects these Green Buildings hat society. I think the Community Garden are quite interesting. Its an extremely pleasant space for them to actually come together. They also do the thing about community cooking, where whatever produce they grow up there. So its a nice way off engaging them. His accounts, all of these green spaces are open to the public. So the residents from the surrounding buildings can use them just as much as the people who live here. Yes, of course, that increases the value of the neighborhood where these kinds of buildings are located. Origin thomas short for works at the future Cities Laboratory at the Singapore University of technology and design. During the pac demik post, employ ees, are working from home. They evaluate Data Collected from the buildings for often with surprising results themselves. By for them they want us to, for example, we look at what bird species are found to us victories. And we find that in terms of biodiversity on buildings like these actually perform much better besides the boy, the cause that this even though theyre densely inhabited, and you also find a lot of bird species there that you wouldnt expect, or mr. Bar as well as great a bio diversity to buildings, helped to cool this surroundings. Residents consume less energy and are able to enjoy new social spaces. Deserved as a boy doesnt find them on. I think these buildings are great examples of how dense and have a taishan can go hand in hand with quality of the space been up to one is irish. Thus, germany can also look at this combination as proof that density isnt automatically bad for the environment. List for the most part, ideas from singapore can be applied to gym and cities, especially the realization that mo greenery is a good response to Climate Change. Had central construction sites, motion belts is working towards a green, a city. This high rise building is getting a roof of plants using compressed air. The plant soil is transported to the 9th floor. A logistical challenge bills is one of the 160. 00 employee. Is it a firm based in the city of hoopa . Tom, which specializes in these sorts of projects, just give it out of everything will grow soon. Right now it looks completely dry, like its just dirt on top of the material is going to store water and then slowly release it. Get his legs. Im up and dusted off to the Cathedral City of cologne. The top floor of his plant hotel will eventually be a small forest. For the great explorers, up with no elevator at my age, either holly against me today, i have to check the plant draws through the grey plant and boxes on the buildings. Ruth and sides will soon be house me to high plants. Likewise, if albany body of the dom arkansas wouldnt, it looks very good. Oh, the drains are clean and tidy as planned. Then theres nothing in the way of it. Im a, lets go around the corner again. Yeah. Belts is a meticulous planner. Demons, it says 77. 00 large trees were fuss about 380. 00 smaller trees and a sins and a few 1000 shrubs and grasses and bushes and smaller plants of eggs to secure the larger order of trees, shrubs and bushes. Belts heads to the netherlands. Hes worked closely with the tree farm here for years. They share the same notion of quality. Ah this is no simple shopping trip, as well as martin belts in his colleague Landscape Architects and the investor are also involved in them with this. This is the North Eastern side, or does the theory the tree right on the corner there on the home in that position. Its an important tree. And beastie bodenals fish on sophomore. Lets take a look at it this way. Hes a victim. The tree farm covers a total of 500. 00 heck tis. Its 4th generation Family Business. I was looking at the marcus. Cool brigade is the resident expert fellow. He knows everything about his clients on the yeah, you can already see the fruit forming the focus on that. So its a 35 year old metal, a tree, especially tolerant to hate. Martin belts carefully selects the right tree from the long road. The old, the tree, the more expensive it is. They can cost several 1000. 00 euros. Said this some hot bargaining. Good. Its you, thered be an additional price of 8. 00 or 900. 00. Was me additional . Yes or no way that honestly, that wouldnt be good value. But if he chooses another tree, what did they always come to an agreement . This is number 56 for now. Yes. Current cologne is heat, wave central. Something has to change your cities wont be livable. Any more. Mm. The bill for the hotels trees is over a 100000. 00 euros. Good junky. Oh, good james. Again, im d. O a. The children of the st. Marine kindergarten to stream could the 100 bad boy love and what are we going to catch that po . Tadpoles. Ok. Now for medi frogs with hon. About close me, the river im sure in the region. A few years ago it was a stinking concrete drainage canal. Its now been rewarded. And so ill get a bucket full of water. Oh, look at whats hanging there. 20. No, in it or it into the ball. Yeah. Yeah. My look, i got something here. I caught a baby nail. My, my get a magnifying glass. I is that a ripple bug. I again, i often come here to cool down their shade and the water keeps you cool to look and feel the difference on this macros shown down until he does the see. Im looking through like mine. You can see the kids eyes light up as they discover everything. You have a completely different quality of life when theres water around. And the kids develop in a different way than 300 kilometers of waterways in the region of being rewarded. Here again, daisy, i, there are so many animals here when im impressed that everything grow so fast. Yeah, im next. The one about is part of the regional project aims to make waterways contribute to sustainable cooling. The kindergarten play area was specially designed by class yukon and only pet. So from the hampshire water authority, they saw that there was no reason for rain water to go into the sewage. Instead it floods the area and then slowly drains. So provides both natural cooling and a cool place for the kids i have in the islamist enough, my hands are still wet from the hose of the and i can feel them getting cooler when i move them fast. So the 6th through the water evaporates and cools them all, its the same principle with our seaboard system, with the water evaporates and cools whats around it. As i also feel, thats what were aiming for, to harness the water and keep it here. So it cools things down through evaporation at long, dont like to see until fossil fuel by the portrait to her. She wants to harness 25 percent of local surface water in this way by 2040 in an effort to keep residents cool. Ah, the same principle is being used in town to next door to the kindergarten. Water is channel directly from the church roof into a sloping meadow. Rainwater is a natural air conditioner, even on busy streets. Because of a chest into chandel, germanys Water Management and the population in general are going to face challenges from increasing Climate Change drought and significantly lower rainfall, especially in summer via also in were in danger of seeing Drinking Water being rationed. America does as or not after long, dry spells survive, there may not be enough water to meet the demands of industry agriculture. And the people think fossil fuel knows many places in the rural region, completely rethinking how they treat and use water for over a century. The m sure was heavily polluted, but thats changing. The river flows from dorman through the rural region for 80 kilometers. Before joining the rhine near didnt slacken in the future. Waste water will be routed through a special close canal, while Everything Else will a different way. That happens except we moved just under 700000 cubic meters of earth during construction and involved that of song, youre going to stuff really pet sullen steph chatelle from the am sure water authority. Were also working flat out to restore the breakfast flood. Plain ne ohausen, a traditional white of the plans, a somewhat revolutionary sheets of we are unlike in the past. Like as all todays ecologists give an approximate meandering path, and then hope that the river and the water will find their own way. Im going vixen. Nature will do the work on it and it will develop on its own animal. Fortunately, dish Deputy National has spent the last 6 years rehabilitating the river because of the price forwarding plan for this is where the little rings. Clover came to visit us on the building site. Thats issues and was, and i had nested and bred successfully concluded a focus on to how to boast when it had gone again, we could keep working on. So we do things hand in hand with nature on every step of the way should 1st with nephew, he is flooding will take place and perhaps the cooling flood plain reaches far as ohausen. Ah, i can dusseldorf to 30000 wound being bushes, getting a last prune that survived the haste. The 5th this summer for the leaves are starting to turn a bit. The shoots are badly grateful. A. Hes in plans to help cool. The said he seems to be working with architect crystal in and home is placed. One of them under an item of was it that was all finished out on the city of diesel.

The New Buildings going up in the fiftys and sixtys. Oh bout lloyd bowed for sale. They say our mad its clear, the city could use a lot more greenery on just like every german city or, or every city full stop. You said theres no city that couldnt do with a few 1000000 more trees. People just have to push 4th order, then it will happen and that this bus you, the clock is ticking mid catastrophic Climate Change out in a cities can only remain livable with is a massive shift to port new green ways of building ah, ah, with no help for afghan children, one year after the taliban took power.
