Good practices how to cool your city

In the beginning of another hot summer, Be Ready project is happy to share a collection of practical solutions from the Danube region cities how to mitigate urban heat effect and improve outdoor thermal comfort. The examples come from 21 cities in 11 countries and present different approaches: from increased green spaces and vegetation, to using cool and reflective surfaces on buildings and pavements and implementing water features. You can get acquainted with diverse practices: creating water surfaces, opening a garden education center, developing “mobile forests”, cooling art installations, parishes open doors and many more. All practices have one thing in common: they involve residents in planning and implementing the cooling strategies to ensure solutions are effective and tailored to local needs.

The Mapping report with good practices is available in Be Ready project “library”.

Do you have a good practice of your own that can inspire and serve other cities? You can share it here and add to the pool of ideas and become a mentor for another city: https://be-uhi-ready.net/good-practices-map-visualization/.
