"Triff die Koryphäe unter der Konifere" Series - Summer in the city: heat adjustment through green infrastructure
Prof. Dr. Matthias Mauder - Holder of the Chair of Meteorology
Summer in the city is increasingly bringing extreme heat stress, which can affect health, quality of life, and infrastructure. Green infrastructure—such as parks, green roofs, facades, or urban trees—offers an effective way to adapt to heat by improving the microclimate, providing shade, and cooling through evaporation. These measures not only help reduce temperatures but also promote biodiversity and quality of life in urban areas. Targeted planning and integration of green elements thus become a key component of climate-resilient urban development.
How can this be implemented in Dresden? And where might there already be successful examples? You can explore these and other questions together with Prof. Dr. Matthias Mauder.
This event is part of the TUD im Dialog initiative, funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and the Free State of Saxony as part of the Excellence Strategy of the federal and state governments.
