Green facades are seen as a tool to strengthen the resilience of cities against the backdrop of climate change. However, the devil is in the details. Fire protection, the right choice of planting, and pressure of use of public space are examples of many factors that must be ensured to achieve optimum effect. Another highly effective form of not only protecting urban space from overheating, but also pushing biodiversity, is green roofs. During the Hike, national and international showcase projects will be discussed with high-level experts.
//INFO: Hike to Zirmalm. Bring hiking shoes and water. In case of heavy rain, there is going to be a shuttle to Zirmalm. After the session at 12pm shuttles will bring you back to the Congress Centrum Alpbach.
