the young people clearly have the solutions, the future is 77 percent. every weekend on dw, the our planet is getting hotter, bringing dramatic consequences for both us and nature. and humans learned to live with extreme weather. listen of design, it changes forcing us to adapt and we have to react and take structural precautions for testing. the weather is out of control worldwide. the relationship water and people has been shift and those broken leaves nice to repair. the clock is ticking,

but there is still time for us to decide how we want to live in the future. the . it's a hot day in the district of golf at some dressed in germany, which is good news for these 2. dr. astrid zima and from the university of dresden needs high temperatures, to do her job. the shuttle or fish underscore home. we bought a house, but we're actually doing here looking for where we head is when and of course people speculate that we're taking photos with google or measuring radio activities and lessons video i do activities they are measuring something, but it's temperature. most of these buildings were constructed in the 19th the

extreme heat has become an issue in carpets which is home to around $21000.00 people. astrid zeeman as a media or ologist, she hopes her work can help improve their quality of life. she finds urban heat islands on the streets or squares to identify which outdoor spaces need work. one last check isn't the exact one good. this backpack allows us to make sure that he thinks the issue of people in an open area in the device. he measures the temperature wind and to meet the c. p is the solar radiation is measured. and here a heat wave mediation is measured from above from the side. and also from below the window, according her research can help dressed in to become more resilient to heat. something people here realized was important. 20 years ago in 2003 europe experienced one of the hottest summers on record. an estimated 70000 people died

from he related causes, with around 7600 tests in germany. in 2020 to 60000 people died from heat related causes in europe, with 8200 tests in germany. these numbers show help crucial affective heat resilience strategies have become astrid ziemen has been working together with other scientists for 5 years on a government funded heat resilience research project. well, her focus is on outdoor space. that's professor thomas now mind studies how buildings react to high temperatures. he's a civil engineer from the university of applied sciences addressing and tries to protect indoor spaces from overheating. thanks to everyone here acting in concert their efforts are paying off. dresden is on its way to becoming a heat resilience city. today, thomas now mind will visit buildings that have already been equipped with heat protection. measures. keen to see what the data says and hopes, buildings can be made even more energy efficient in the future. around the world,

cities are being forced to take action against heat weights for city to be heat resilience, it should establish alarm chains to flag heat, make buildings more heat, resilient for cooler indoor spaces. create green spaces which lower temperatures and have water reserves. in case of droughts, but it's not just heat that's threatening cities. bangkok, thailand scrolling capitol is facing another kind of extreme, whether the, the metropolis often has too much water. patrick, one of our icon grew up here. she's worried about her city. slice here used to be very different. 8

identity and use to me it used to be our past, present people in bangkok used to co exist with water. now they feel threatened to buy it. and for good reason. then cold is one of the most rapid thinking city in asia. and i think some part of our city is already on the sea level and i'm a landscape architects and i'm looking towards to safe my city. the megacity was built on the flood plains of the chow prayer river. water comes down from the mountains when it also rains heavily bank i can fill up like a bath tub because the water can no longer flow out the sea. patrick horns are awesome, says bank hoc needs less great concrete and more green plants and earth that can

absorb water. the city was built on swampy ground where the chow pay or river flows into the gulf of thailand. used to be a small fishing village but grew rapidly into a concrete and steel megacity. meaning most of its surfaces are sealed over the city changed and its water troubles have gotten worse and worse. only 15 minutes of rainfall the whole city shut down because we have a lot of run off that we can manage. the consequences are often catastrophic. around 11000000 people live in the metro area of been caught. they regularly experienced the effects of climate change firsthand. over the past 20 years, think i can seen an average of $137.00 water related deaths and $7000000000.00 in damages every year. is the office of the prize winning landscape architect lies outside the inner city. patrick corner of our icon works across asia and teaches at

harvard university in the us together with her team. she comes up with ideas for the city of tomorrow in the so a. so if the office is a kind of laboratory for the future. here she developed her vision for a climate resilience city. at the moment, she's focused on a very important construction project. the new government center, which is being built in northern being cocked. her priority is to make sure it's green and courts so that water can get through that. ok, and i think being colorado is, is really related to delta city like bank. com and many people mention about spawns cities. but being par us is adding another layer of quality of water is not really just to hold a water, but is also when is at the right time, it will, i know,

need to go through it. the fact that she was commission to make the building ecologically friendly is a sign of changing attitudes that governments level a call have the last screen public space per capita, among mega cities around the world. and we have a lot of development, a lot of concrete. so gland is lice, horace. we have no room for water on the way to the site. she sees many examples of what she doesn't want to build but can we build without any concrete? yes, so many who argue for sustainable and environmentally friendly construction. increase on in lower bavaria. people have been using an alternative to concrete for a long time loan, a kind of sandy clay. gail acosta, is alone experts. he knows almost everything about the sustainable material, such as that house is made of low withstood extreme heat for centuries. which is

just one of the materials many advantages might yes to light for them, but my goal was always to build houses which when they are no longer needed, can simply be filed down in full that can just be put back into the earth and level to nature without much buddy, only a good issue. at 1st, it was difficult to get others interested in building with natural materials. few people saw the benefits of sustainability 20 years ago, but now he has a company with more than 20 employees and has built around 300 loan houses. but again, today he is sending teams to 3 different construction sites. his company builds houses, hotels, and commercial buildings. it's working. yes, all good. the plan had been for georg costa to join his father's brewery, helped in shop for me if i took over my father's john and was head of a branch offices with 15 or 16 employees. so but,

but it wasn't my calling time. a craftsman. i like to dig my hands at the class. it just wasn't for me is what i'm looking at. this might managed to follow his colleagues in today. he's an expert in modern construction. he spent several years developing different alone mixtures himself. he's on his way to visit a friend. he's been working with for years. his friend also values building with natural materials and works with fluffy as low mixtures to make construction products. step on again, there is an engineer who also started his own company. he's eager to show j. r coffer, his latest invention. a robot that's currently working in a converted greenhouse environmentally friendly machine plows, the loan, so that an optimally drive in the sun to be processed further. the so i'm sorry you missed to meet glue that

carbon neutral as possible miss to ensure that not only the materials and the finished product are eco friendly because of the whole production process is also sustainable. the solar lunar, drying is the 1st step to show that the processing that follows is also solar powered step, one, egging, or a seas. lome is a sustainable solution for both residential and commercial construction. his company exports to half of europe. there are various loan based products are in demand for music. avoided more and more public buildings are being built with loomed size can, from kindergarten to schools, to administer some buildings. one can use of lumen construction is on the rise and we use more every year. but the, yeah, this came off in 5. 1 example is the supermarket company on the tour as so called working environment. and don stopped. the space has room for $500.00 employees. it's europe's largest office with a ramped earth facade. with sustainability becoming increasingly relevant for

construction. lo has attracted the attention of several real estate developers. but many know little about this re discovered bill the material the developer of this brick building, ordered loan plaster from gain or call for the loan. plaster is only 2 centimeters thick and bones well with the brakes, and its benefits don't stop there. it also works like an air conditioner that doesn't need electricity. what i need assistance with is very dense. one square meter of wall weighs around 40 kilos balls. so it's very good at absorbing heat to get our master builders back in the day. we're already using the mass to absorb energy in a key. ok, so name a foot loam can do more than just store warm. it can also keep out the summer heat, optimize humidity,

and it's 100 percent recyclable. the loan pioneer has a clear vision for how houses should be in the future. degree didn't just a moment, the plant, we need more green, more plants and more green to, to bring we need to bring nature back to the cities in between. i also think there could be a kind of symbiosis with loan. i'm sure if we need to get rid of these field surfaces on just a, i think having green cities with reasonable growth and reasonable natural materials is the only way forward. it took a little time to change has made this type of thinking more and more urgent in the construction sector. over and carpets and dressed in tests are already under way to see how cities can prepare. the neighborhood has become a kind of real life laboratory. professor thomas now man is putting, measuring devices in the building that already has various heats protection measures installed. he wants to know how effective the measures are. the building

residents are briefed about the research project. this apartment is home to an 87 year old woman. she's grateful that her building cooperative took steps to it's the property against peter. now mine and his colleagues are installing to measuring devices that record various factors. kristof in yet is curious. that's what it's about. what this will stay for a few weeks and then through the whole period too, but he is supposed to be helpful to the side. let's see. you're all here on the top . it's the temperature here, humidity, and then oxygen levels. i've skimmed, i've been v o. i was a child, we also had hot summer, but nothing this extreme, if i can do something to boxes by closing every fish this tomorrow on the check out, these are sure have those mice blinds out there and they keep the he's out. yep. it's of industrial housing like here in cobb, it's has several weak points thermally speaking, but they are both small and large measures that can be done to make high

temperatures, more bearable gigs. that's an either community. and in contrast to other weather events, we stays like flooding heavy rain or hills storms. so when it comes to he actually is notified, protecting the building from what's improving people's life quality for the mention . and the people who live here are crucial for the research as well. for the project to succeed, they have to actually use the mattress that includes putting down the blinds when it's hot outside a custom that has long been common practice and more southern countries. thomas, now on finally has all the results they show how important the team's work has been the house to the left with no heat protection measures installed. gets very hot. the one on the right which has measures stays much cooler. this is a success. but dressed in plants to do much more to become a heat resilience city back and being caught in the new government center.

more than 2000 people are working on the construction site. patrick and bar awesome visits. regularly, urban planning expertise has significantly shapes the project. for instance, their planned tools that have been integrated into the ground that can store water and active streams. she has long been working towards making grey cement green. in 2017, she found to be poor city networks, which aims to insert porosity into hard paid cities. coastal regions in thailand and in malaysia have joined to the network. the goal for city is to stop being planned against water and to work with it. instead. these gutters in the ground also collect rainwater, which will be stored in tanks. like many countries in asia, thailand, experiences extreme weather,

including heat weights. the landscape architect must consider all of this in her planning. and for this particular project, she must also keep it special purpose in mind. but be useful because well, as the government center of the nation, the line of the building complex also includes a parking garage. each floor protrudes to a different degree. the roof will be covered in vegetation, have a solar system and a small roof garden. rainwater will be directed so that it flows down the facade. tabio test during the plan in the particle, but it is not only the prism and most people to walk around here and then the building

project manager has arrived. he's very interested in the plants and appreciates about smart landscape architects can help create the resilience and sustain the whole city says recycle. i like to have people come to the time is good for the climate because this will be so wonderfully green with grateful for the project about that, i would love to see these types of greeting projects. so when i buy and coffee and across china seen the make idle map, patrick horns are awesome previously completed another project which showed how important her line of work is for climate stricken bangkok she roost of fame with a 2 long corn centenary park located in the middle of the city, this park can hold almost 4000000 liters of water. it was completed in march 2017 and received global attention. the 11 tech to your area has a gradual incline of 3 degrees. this means that rain flows off easily. it's been

gathered in underground tanks and, and the retention pond. vegetation helps regulate the temperature and provides protection from the sun on hot days. the wetlands and water bodies have become a home for many species. and for bank cox inhabitants, the park is a place of rest in recreation. but the part is only one part of the solution. if i say i have the 400 time be good and this is still not saving back home. we need more more, more. but the message that this part to way is for us to leave with water one again and not see a of lot, but leave it benefits it cherishes, separated as part of our lives. as

a result of man made climate change, awareness of the value of nature and the city is growing. nature based solutions will become increasingly important in the future. besides green spaces, canals are another important part of bangkok strategy to make the city more porous again and improve life quality for its population. back in the day, a whole network of canals were clunk used to stretch through bangkok. these were then paved over to make space for concrete buildings and asphalt streets in her lab for the future. patrick, one of our awesome is planning to reactivate. old canals is an important step because for the city to become ports of water must be able to circulate an escape. the cow is actually the key, but we destroyed it, but by destroying it the existing canals do not connect us. you can see so many water days, so many ro, disconnected disconnect,

that is connected. so what my team and i tried to do to at least minimize all of these connection and link to it and combine it with the 2 big part of the city to to let the land breeze again. and when the land can breeze, the people can enjoy its benefits. to reimagined, a city in this way is a huge endeavor, with around 60 percent of the world's global population living in cities. it's also hugely complicated. patrick, one of our awesome has nonetheless found a way to do it back and dressed in the media or ologist astrid seem on is once again looking for urban heat islands. the past summer as have shown the extent to which high temperatures negatively affect life, quality and corvettes. one part of the problem is that many of the surfaces are

sealed and liabilities as of what we can stand and it's bearable list of those on yet every section should be like this really hard to stay. if they re doing in stations or adding new was for the should always make sure that people have shady, measuring hot periods of habits. i district freeze on so vertical, green billing. i'm the global coal is how good as the research group conducted a survey which revealed that many people would like bus stops and transportations to be cooler and have more shade. that's why the know the window. that's exactly why we did this project to be able to give precise measurements to of, and plan of the stuff to the office for the environment for this. and we create the space agency helps with new need these precise values often to be able to say that the nations of who is implemented either within such own success that it takes many smart people to make a city heat for resilience. thomas, now mine is about to meet someone who use this technology to this cent dressings.

smart city manager, sir. nice to see here the mutual and is an expert. he wants to use artificial intelligence and temperatures sensors to identify urban heat islands. a sensor here will be one of how many interesting insights god beside us is. one of our 300 sensors and my colleagues should be arriving shortly. they'll bring all the setup equipment with the cargo bank so that the installation is as environmentally friendly as possible. i went to the sensors, record temperature and humidity in real time. this data is been used to create a heat map of the city because we can't install thousands of sensors, but we can extrapolate temperature trends in the city with our 300 sensors. thanks to this system, heat islands can also be predicted,

meaning this technology can be used to warn residents and to prevent hotspots through appropriate planning. this is also important for roads as it's expensive to repair, split asphalt or heat warrants, trucks, meetings, this team thing about estimates from keep up with this system. we'll have quantitative data the 1st time about what it means financially to build here or elsewhere. and yet so, but i'm not sure if you've thought about where to build and how to build and that's then you can feed that into the system. and it can tell you how that will impact the heat development in the city. what proof of hadn't been there, and that input is interesting for us when we decide whether to go for an option a or option b. would it be by, under the smart sensor network will help me construction more robust and better adapted so that the city becomes more heated is alliance. it can also help future proof of already existing buildings. mutual answers interested in now months data from residential building steps. haven't yet had he protection measures that it

must be used as a carpet plot for indoor claimant to always start with a building with new measures yet. but the ones that he wasn't going to have the read shows how much the state heats up when it's hot outside room for room, strongly affecting its residents. by contrast, a building that has heat protection measures is much greener. to start from more, there was some close to a great extent the city of tomorrow already exists. today we will be altering a lot of existing building use or size of the truck. that's the most sensible strategy for both in terms of energy consumption and the economy and on climate change on possible whether it's heat size, heavy, rain or flooding stocks is forcing us to adapt. most of these we have to, we actually are going to take structural precautions just for soccer trap. the prize winning research project keep resilience city shows that there is still time

to react both in smaller cities like dressed in and, and mega cities around the world like bang. cox, learning to live with extreme weather and urban environments is possible the, [000:00:00;00]

the pico africa, ruby's ear is still key and it's making people say, it's important for us to begin collecting this data. to be able to compare it and see whether there's any health impact and this little device as opposed to how we quoted these a low cost for the $2.00 more utah. does it more the co africa in 30 minutes on
