VRS Special Data
Example Climate Atlas
Hints for local Preparatory Land Use Plan
-> for all 179 municipalities in the Region
Forcast Climate Change: dramatical increase of „Heat Island Effect“ in the Region until 2100
-> rising need for „urban comfort zones, especially in densely populated areas
-> green wall as one possible component of an „urban comfort zone“
