Ratiboř

Within this framework, effective measures will be developed, tested and implemented to help tackle heat islands. Within our municipality, specific solutions for an area of over 6,000 m² will be tested in a pilot project right in the centre of our municipality.

These solutions will focus on green measures based on vegetation and blue measures focusing on new uses of water resources. The main outputs of the project include jointly developed and implemented methodologies and toolkits for urban heat island risk assessment, data analysis and modelling at city level.

What does this mean for people?

Urban heat islands have a negative impact on the people who live in them. Higher temperatures affect not only the physical and mental well-being of city residents, but also the quality of the environment, not to mention the higher costs of air conditioning buildings. The expected benefit of the proposed solutions is to reduce the temperature in towns and cities by up to 1 degree Celsius and thus mitigate the negative impacts mentioned above.
