The collared parakeets chirp it from the Kö-Platanen: climate change is in full swing. How can we strengthen urban climate resilience? What are Düsseldorf's plans and how is blue-green infrastructure already improving the urban climate? A climate tour from the banks of the Rhine via Königsallee to Europe's largest green façade.
Eight kilometers of hornbeam hedges - an ecological benefit of around 80 deciduous trees! With its green façade, Kö-Bogen II in the Ingenhoven Valley, which will be completed in 2021, is setting standards throughout Europe.
But historic “climate architecture” can also have a positive impact on the microclimate. What about Napoleon's embellishment decree, the construction of the shady Kö and the redesign of Düsseldorf's oldest public park, the Hofgarten?
Our guide will not only show you cool retreats and the hotspots of climate-adapted infrastructure. It also takes you from the past to the future. What do grass tracks do for heat protection? Which trees have made it onto Düsseldorf's future tree list? And how does the “Blue-Green Ring” project combine culture and climate in urban planning?
Our climate tour will bring you up to date. Book your guided tour now!
