- Subproject(s): Development of a tree planting method 'StreetTREE', which can be used as a unique sponge city structure. (S-TREE-T)
- Abstract
- Trees are an indispensable element of urban climate change adaptation. Of all green infrastructures, they are the most effective and cost-efficient measure for creating climate-resilient and liveable cities. Currently, trees can only rarely be planted in existing cities due to the many fixtures and fittings (gas, water, electricity, communication, sewers, district heating), or only at considerable construction expense. The innovative approach of StreetT-REE allows trees to be planted independently of fixtures, provides sufficient root volume for the tree and forms a strong component of a sponge city. StreetTREE is designed to enable the planting of trees in the existing city and thus make a valuable contribution to climate change adaptation!
