Understanding Climate Change, Experiencing Urban Green: The Walk through Augsburg's Old Town
This guided city walk shows how Augsburg is adapting its city center to climate change – visible through green facades, climate-resilient city trees, and cool retreat areas. In cooperation with the Environmental Office of the City of Augsburg and the Environmental Station, the tour provides hands-on knowledge about urban climate – free of charge, understandable, inspiring.
Architecture, Shade, Quality of Life: Urban Green as Climate Adaptation
Starting near the cathedral, the city tour leads through the city center to the lower Old Town. Along historical facades, measures such as vertical gardens, tree plantings with water-retaining substrates, and unsealed courtyards become tangible. You will discover how microclimates are created, why tree species selection matters, and how green spaces buffer heat peaks.
Local History Meets the Future: Augsburg's Path to a Climate-Resilient City
Between patrician houses and modern pilot projects, the local history of urban greenery unfolds. The tour shows how administration, environmental education, and citizens work together to preserve cultural heritage while also creating climate-adapted urban spaces.
Insider Knowledge from the Guides: Practical and Evidence-Based
Through the cooperation with the Environmental Office and the Environmental Station, participants gain solid insights into urban climate analysis, heat protection, water management, and care concepts. Terms like albedo, evaporative cooling, and sponge city become tangible on site.
