Improve city climate
To improve our city climate we have to start with ourselves. We have to be willing to change our habits and get used to new surroundings. Our imagination consists of a climate friendly city which is filled up with a lot of trees and solar panels. We think that these two methods would be the most effective and probably the easiest to improve our city climates significantly.
First of all, we would have to plan the locations and the financing of our city trees, parks and solar panels. The second step would be to actually install them and get people used to it. Then we would like to make some calculations to exactly define by how much we improved the actual climate of the city and how much energy we saved.

With this project we would like to make the population, especially large companies, aware of the need to change the climate and that big cities make a large part of it. One way to change this is to have green roofs. Since there is not much room to plant trees in cities anyway, this can be done on large roofs.
We imagine that our project will motivate some to implement it. Furthermore, the project should fulfill our imagination to have a positive influence on the climatic conditions. With this procedure the quality of living should be increased and the rainwater can also be evaporated better.
We are aware of the fact that this implementation could be expensive and that the investment costs are higher than for a conventional roof. Furthermore, such roofs need to be maintained. But if you take a closer look, there are many more advantages. A green roof serves as a habitat for plants and animals!
To get more information about this topic, we might do an interview or create surveys.
Who knows, maybe in 20 years big cities all over the world will already change to green cities...

On which way does a city park help the city climate?
Our goal is to show off that the city parks are a necessary part of a city and aren't just for the pleasure of the people.
Possible parts in the project:
- The Location of a park
- Structure and content
- Examples of environmentally friendly parks
How?
We gonna do deeply researches on the internet and if possible some interviews with experts on this topic.
The project will be planned in the «IPERKA»-Method and will use only professional deposited sources and carefully done studies.
