Today I want to contact the Department of the Environment in Zurich.
I also want to find out more about the possibilities to minimise traffic.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of the different solutions.
Mail to the Department of the Environment and continued working on the overview.
in Progress
I am looking for a cooperation with another team.
My project investigates the traffic situation in the cities and which measures are most useful to minimise CO2 emissions.
There are some starting points which I would like to investigate.
Car free city
Fewer parking spaces or more expensive parking spaces
more bike rentals or even free bikes
severely restrict entry to the city
I would be delighted to work with a motivated team.
I filled out a contact form and asked the Department of Environment of Zurich to contact me. I briefly explained what I was going to work on
In progress
The city is as quiet as possible and without many vehicles. So that the CO2 emissions can be reduced very much. I hope that the city will become car-free. This would be ideal not only for the climate but also for the well-being of the residents. With this measure, climate change could be drastically slowed down.
My vision: The city is quiet, only electric trams and buses drive through the streets. The electricity that is needed is obtained from sustainable sources. In other words, from solar panels mounted on the roofs of houses. People who come into the city by car have to park their cars in large car parks outside the city. These should be covered. Everything on the roof should be covered with solar panels. The public transport network is well developed so that there are no restrictions if you take public transport into account.
The problem that accompanies this measure is the high financial effort that has to be made.
The climate is changing. Cities are responsible for around three quarters of CO2 emissions. In order to reduce emissions, it is necessary to switch to other forms of energy production.
For this purpose, it is possible to install solar systems, heat pumps or geothermal probes.
Unfortunately, these procedures are very expensive to install. Therefore, it makes sense to promote the purchase of such equipment.
In my project I would look into the question, which subsidies are already available from the state or where there is still need for action. So that more households can afford such equipment.
To reduce CO2 emissions in cities, I believe that urban traffic must be reduced.
To achieve this goal, I believe that various measures can be taken.
- Reducing access to the city or charging a fee.
- Reduce parking in the city
- Creating a car-free zone or even a car-free city
- Only allow certain vehicles into the urban area (electric vehicles, hydrogen vehicles, etc.)
In my project I would like to find out which of these measures make sense or where are the strengths and weaknesses of the respective variants.
Perhaps, in the course of the project, there will be other possibilities to keep traffic away from the city.
To cope with this, I would include a city in my project.
Embodied energy means all the energy used to manufacture a product. From production to disposal. All this energy is called More...
The car industry is increasingly turning to electric vehicles. But do we have enough energy to meet this d
emand? It doesn't make much sense to try to reduce the CO2 balance by building electric vehicles, but the necessary energy is not available.
In order to get the energy we need, we could include many sustainable sources. Like for example: Wind turbines, hydroelectric power and solar panels.
