Our goal was to enlighten the people on the subject of city parks and how they have a great impact on the world. We've learned a lot during the research and the progress of the project. We also were lucky, that we were able to work with the Grün Stadt Zürich and use their informations and documents.
Overall, it was a great project and we are looking forward to feedbacks on donstwastemy.energy.
We had some dificulties with the presentation in wordpress but we managed to make it look clean. We had to rewrite a part of our interview because the formation was wrong. But in the end everything looked good and we published our work on https://dontwastemy.energy/2021/01/20/city-parks-and-their-impact-on-the-environment/
In the beginning we had alot of ideas for the topic of our project but now we are happy with the chosen topic. It was a bit difficult to find some promising sources at first. But after a few researches, we found a detailed document of the Stadt Zürich which describes our topic really good. So we asked them if we could use it and made also an inquiry for an interview.
Another difficulty was to write the text in an easy and readable way and language. We needed to explain a few foreign words to make the text understandable.
Even without a collaboration, we think that our project has enough information.
In general it was a lot of fun to work on that project and to search some information for an important topic. We think we've learned alot with this type of work and we're satisfied with the final results.
We're looking forward to the publication.
We asked someone from Kerala to do a collaboration with us. Unfortunately the interest was only on one side and the corona virus affected our chances on a collaboration, so we can't include another country in our project.
The Grün Stadt Zürich rejected us aswell at first. But after a few e-mails and some convincing, they agreed on an interview.
But overall our experiences are really good and we have many informations and sources for our topic. So we are confidently looking forward on doing our project.
We want to put together some knowledge which we have read last week and today.
We want to make a detailed timetable as well.
We found good sources on the internet which we want to read through and get an overview. The sources are from the city of zurich.
We are also waiting on an answer from the department of environment in zurich for our interview request, which we sent them last week. Maybe we contact them again because its already a week ago. We will write the questions today and when they agree, send it to them.
Exciting projects in the context of city climate & city trees are in development or "growing"; each project team as well as all collaboration teams get their own category. Here you collect all material, text, media, etc. for sharing with others and later for your publication on the website dontwastemy.energy.
The journey of discovery is underway!
Hello Together
We are doing a project about city parks and their impact on the city climate. We want to show off how important a city park is for the environment and how many people are using them frequently. It would be really interesting if we could do a collaboration with a team which also does a project on a similar topic.
For our collaboration, we thought that it would be a cool idea when we can compare the numbers and usage of city parks in different countries. So we can see what the population of different cities think about their own city parks.
Our imagined city park
We thought about city parks and how we think a city park should be and what it should contain.
In our opinion city parks should allow enough space for people. That means that there should be fields but aswell ways and trees. So you can do some sportive activities, but also hang around with friends or play something with other people. Maybe even have a picknick or have a little walk in the forest. All in all, the park should be a place of retreat from your daily business and shouldn't contain a city atmosphere.
If there is enough space, the park will automatically allow some little wild animals to live there. Maybe some ponds with ducks and fishes or even small lakes can also be a part. So it can create a small eco system and help the biodiversity.
When a city park is big and offers much to do and to see, it can be seen as a landmark of the city which would help the popularity of city parks.

What?
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.
