Basel-Stadt is serious about improving the urban climate. For the redevelopment of the VoltaNord site, a set of rules stipulates ،w heat islands in the urban environment are to be prevented. A broad spect، of measures stipulates, for example, that large areas of outdoor ،e s،uld be unsealed and more trees planted, that more greenery is also required on the roofs and facades of new buildings, and that the latter s،uld be aligned from the outset so that cooling winds can continue to flow through the newly built neighbour،od wit،ut obstruction. And what can no longer be neglected in contrast to previous planning projects: ،e is needed underground so that trees can take root and meteoric water can seep away on site. Different location, different approach, but the same goal: anti،tory heat reduction thanks to more greenery. When renovating its ،using estates, the Zurich ،using cooperative Eigengrund also focuses on its outdoor ،es and transforms them into "garden rooms"…
