Stadtgrün- und Klimawalk
Dr. Julia Krohmer (Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung, Scientists for Future) und Prof. Dr. Daniele Santucci (Climateflux, RWTH Aachen)
How hot does our city really get — and what does that mean for how we live in it? On a participatory walk through the Wallanlagen in Frankfurt, we explore the city’s microclimate in a hands-on way. We look at vegetation, sense temperature differences, identify urban heat hotspots, and reflect together on smart strategies for a more climate-resilient and future-ready city.
