Urban solutions for climate change

In recent years, the effects of climate change have become more pronounced in cities. Extreme hotes, sudden water raids and sea level increases caused the city infrastructure to remain insufficient. When 56 percent of the world population is thought to live in urban areas, it has been forced to rethink our cities and develop sustainable urban solutions. Here are five innovative solutions that can be applied in cities against climate change...

1. Hamburg’s alg energy building[
Bio Intelligent Quotient in Hamburg, Germany (B.I. Q.) The apartment building draws attention as the first alg energy building in the world. This building produces renewable energy from alg biomass and solar thermal heat. More heat obtained from photobuggers can be used in hot water and heating systems of the building or then stored to use. The potential to absorb carbon dioxide of algae, recycle waste water and make oxygen release, making them more efficient than other renewable sources. This project constitutes a promising example for green cities in the future. [

2. Green tram lines[
Green tram lines, which are widely seen in many cities of Europe, Bordeaux, Frankfurt and Barcelona, provide significant benefits in cities. Plant cover in these lines reduces sudden water raids by absorption rainwater and cools the surrounding area. Green tram lines not only reduce the risk of flood but also offer a living space to many insect and unstable creatures. Also soft surfaces reduce the vibration and noise of the tram wheels.

3. Treeing in Paris[
43°C temperature recorded in Paris in 2019 led to search for ways to cope with extreme hot in the city. French plans to sew 160.000 trees to cool their capital. The coolness provided by tree shadows, significantly reducing the temperatures in the city, alleviates the impact of the urban heat island. Trees play an important role in the fight against climate change, as well as reducing urban temperatures.

4. White buildings of Greece
The white buildings that decorate the views of the Greek Islands offer an important climate solution beyond aesthetic purposes. The feature of reflecting the sunlight of white colors keeps indoor temperatures under about 4.5°C of outdoor temperature. Such technological innovations can provide great benefit to living in extreme heated houses and reduce energy costs by reducing the use of air conditioning.

5. Bringing nature to buildings]
Climate change plays a key role to integrate nature into cities. Located in the financial district of Amsterdam, The Valley is a stunning example of this approach. 13.000 plants, trees and shrubs integrated into the facade of the building improve air quality, improve well-being and provide local cooling benefits. The integration of nature to city life should be the basic design principle, so that cities can stay in the changing climate.

Measures that can take cities in the fight against climate change and the potential to protect the environment and improve the quality of living in the city Tags. These innovative solutions attract attention as promising steps to build the green cities of the future.
