As a result of high-density developments, more and more green zones are disappearing in cities. The sun burns down on the asphalt in summer, the heat accumulates and natural shady areas are rare.
When planning urban development projects, we advise cities and urban planning offices on how to plan green zones. By creating green and water areas, fresh air corridors and permeable soils, it is possible to alleviate the impact of heat waves in cities.
