Meet the luminary among the conifers on August, 23 - Summer in the City: Heat adaptation through green infrastructure

© Prof. Dr. Matthias Mauder

Summer in the city is increasingly bringing extreme heat stress, which can affect health, quality of life, and infrastructure. Prof. Matthias Mauder of the Chair of Meteorology at TU Dresden knows that green infrastructure—such as parks, green roofs, and urban trees—offers an effective way to adapt to heat: it improves the microclimate, provides shade, and cools the environment through evaporation. How can green elements be integrated into Dresden’s cityscape, and where are there already successful examples of climate-resilient urban development? Explore these and other questions together with Prof. Mauder on August 23.

The event is part of the “Meet the Expert Under the Conifer” dialogue series. It will take place behind Regenwaldhaus I. Registration is not required. We will record an audio version for later listening as a podcast. The event may be canceled in the event of heavy rain.
