Neighborhood heat walks (Hitzespaziergänge)

Walk your block's heat map with neighbours

Hitzespaziergänge and Climatewalks let residents feel where asphalt bakes, where trees cool, and where the next shade project could go, guided by city staff, health groups, or urban planners.

What you can do

• Join a listed walk on Hitzeaktionstag or a municipal climate office open day
• Note hotspots: unshaded bus stops, south-facing playgrounds, and heat islands around car parks
• Bring suggestions back to a Kiez meeting or Bauausschuss

Formats to look for

• Talk and Walk routes (for example Stadt Viersen or Köln-Ehrenfeld)
• Stadtteilspaziergänge comparing cool corners and sunny squares (Munich MVHS, Stuttgart Gesundheitsamt)
• Architecture Climatewalks along green belts (Frankfurt Anlagenring)

Why it matters

You cannot plant shade for a street you have never walked in August, these tours turn data into stories neighbours act on.
