RewildingStuttgartGreen shade routes & unsealing for urban coolingMore green, less grey, cooler streets by design Heat and sealed surfaces go together: asphalt stores warmth, while trees and unsealed soil cool the block. Cities are extending Schattenwege (shade routes), depaving yards, and co-designing green corners with residents. What you can do - Walk a municipal Schattenweg route and suggest the next link (Esslingen extends its shade path each summer) - Join participation formats for new neighbourhood green (for example FairFuture co-design in Hamburg-Veddel) - Support local Flächenentsiegelung projects that swap paving for planting (Recklinghausen Hitzeschutzbündnis model) Why it matters Every square metre unsealed is a small air conditioner the whole Kiez shares, biodiversity and comfort in one intervention.
