Large areas of the Earth’s surface are sealed — for example by
roads, buildings or large paved squares. Rainwater cannot seep
into the ground and replenish the groundwater. At the same time,
more and more housing is needed for people, especially in growing
cities. This is why multi-story apartment buildings are often built,
which cover less land per living space than single-family homes. On
the other end of the spectrum, the “tiny houses” that are popular in
some places have advantages and disadvantages: on the one hand, they do
not take up as much space as single-family homes, but on the other hand, they
are usually built on existing green spaces and only inhabited by one or two people.
Urban Green Space
Even a single family house benefits from having a
green roof. In cities, however, greening with trees,
parks, or green roofs is even more important.
This is because trees and green spaces improve
the microclimate — the climatic conditions of
their immediate surroundings. Green spaces cast
shade, filter dust from the air, and evaporate
water. Overall, they reduce temperatures in their
immediate surroundings by up to eight degrees Celsius — particularly
important in light of climate change in areas where it’s getting
warmer!
