Created at: 27 Jun 2019

Description

Due to the urban plannign design a lot pavement was introduced and a relatively smaal amount of green. The green is manly grass and little amount of trees. During sitevisit juni 2019 the area felt quite hot. 2 residents were interviewed and they confirmed that the square was hot. The dwellings are also to well isolated, making it difficult to get rid of the heat. Alle dwellings are owned by the housing company. The Resdient started allready to introduce small amounts of green in tranportable boxes and ground based green to a wall. Furthermore the residents are allowed to use 15.000 € for more green in the area by municipality and housingcompany. Currently they look for examples of other cities how to implemnt nice green. Only pavement, resdidents complain heatstress on street and in dwellings
