the, the, the, our planet is getting hotter, bringing dramatic consequences for both us and nature. and humans learned to live with extreme whether to 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 province and dressed in germany, which is good news for these 2. dr. astrid zima and from the university of president needs high temperatures to do her job. the show more efficient underscore who we've also seen those, but we're actually doing here. we're looking for where we have is we have of course, people speculate that we're taking photos with google or measuring radioactivity. so lessons is utilize your activities they are measuring something, but it's temperature. most of these buildings were constructed in the 1980s. extreme heat has to become an issue in the office,

which is home to around 21000 people. astrid z minus the media or ologist, she hopes her work can help improve their quality of life. she finds urban heat islands on the streets or squares right into fi which outdoor spaces need work. one last check. but these are 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, in meshes the air temperature wind. and to me to see up here, the solar radiation is measured. and here, a heat wave mediation is measured from above from the size, 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 how 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 resilient city. today, thomas now mind will visit buildings that have already been equipped with heat protection measures. he's 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 capital is facing another kind of extreme, whether the metropolis often has too much water. patrick horn, viral 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 people in bangkok used to co exist with water. now they feel threatened to buy it. and for good reason, ben called 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 the 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 flew 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 rain fall, 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 being caught. they regularly experienced the effects of climate change firsthand. over the past 20 years been caucus 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 u. s. 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, 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 quantity of water is not really just to hold a water. but it's also when it's at the right time, it will, i don't need to go through it to the fact that she was commissioned to make the

building ecologically friendly as a sign of changing attitudes that governments level comp 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 glenn 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 loan withstood extreme heat for centuries, which is just one of the materials many advantages. but yes,

the light foldable in 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 button. only a good nation. few poetry 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 gay or casa to join his father's brewery, hoped in till 4 months i took over my father's john, and was head of a branch office with 15 or 16 employees. so, but, but it wasn't my call,

the kind of craftsman. i like to dig my hands at the class. it just wasn't for me is what i'm talking at this minute. he managed to follow his calling in today. he's an expert in modern name construction. he spent several years developing difference, low 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. stuck on again, there is an engineer who also started his own company. he's eager to show day or 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 and the sun to be processed further. 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, tre eco friendly. those of the whole production process is also sustainable. the solar lunar drying is the 1st step is that the processing that follows is also solar powered. step one, egging, or caesar boom 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 reported 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. i mean, use more every year, but the yeah, this came off of in 5. 1 example is the supermarket company on the tour as so called working environment in darmstadt. the space has room for $500.00 employees. it's europe's largest office with a rammed earth facade with sustainability becoming increasingly relevant for

consider action. flow has attracted the attention of several real estate developers . but many know little about this re discovered building material. the developer of this brick building ordered loan plaster from gain or call for the loan. plaster is only 2 centimeters thick and bonds 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 for the last one. square meter of wall weighs around 40 kilos. so it's very good at absorbing heat. our master builders, back in the day, we're already using the mass to absorb energy in a key of to name a foot loam can do more than just store warm. it can also keep out. 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 because 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 the 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 in gall bits in 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 protect the property against pete. now, mon 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 the answer is supposed to be helpful to the side. so 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, so it but nothing this extreme, if i can do something, your bosses by closing everything this tomorrow on the chart that these are sure have those mice blinds out there and they keep the he's out of the, it's of industrial housing like here in cobb, it's has several weeks 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 see slightly flooding heavy rain or hill storms. so when it comes to heat, she does not have protecting the building from what's improving people's life quality for 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 and finally has all the results they show how important the team's work has been the, 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 bank thoughts and the new governments center more than

2000 people are working on the construction site. patrick, one of our 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, a city network which aims to insert porosity into hard paid cities. coastal regions in thailand and in malaysia have joined to the network. the goal for cities 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, it's a 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. a tabio has to rain playing the plan in the vertical. so that is not only the prism and most people to walk around here and in the building project manager has arrived. he's very interested in the plants and

appreciates about smart landscape architects can help create resilient and sustainable cities. are the 5 old people come to the time is good for the climate because this will be so wonderfully green with grateful for the project. i would love to see these types of greening projects, so when i have of hancock and across the child on the make, i don't map patrick horns are awesome. previously completed another project which showed how important her line of work is for climate stricken bangkok. she rose to 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 park is only one part of the solution. if i say i have the call 100 time be good and this is still not saving back. com that we need more and more more. but the message that this paul can weigh is for us to leave with water, once again, and not spear off slot, but leave it benefit to 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 bank cox strategy to make the city more porous again and improve life quality for its population. back in the day, a whole network of canals or clones used to stretch through bangkok. these were then paved over to make space for concrete buildings and asphalt streets in her lap for the future. patrick, one of our outcomes 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 canal is actually the key, but we destroyed it. but by destroying it, the existing canals do not connected. you can see so many water. so many ro disconnected disconnects that disconnected. so what my team and i tried to do is to

at least minimize all of these connection and link to it and combine it with a 2 big part of the city to to let the land breeze again. and when the land can breeze, the people can enjoy its benefit to reimagined, a city in this way as 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 summers 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 laboratories as of what we can stand and it's

variable list of those. i get every section should be like this really hard to stay, stay redoing station. so adding when he was for the should always make sure that people have shaved chewing hot periods. this hot district freeze on so vertical green building kind of cool parole is how go dos. the research group conducted a survey which revealed that many people would like bus stops and tramps stations to be cooler and have more shade. that's 12 and all that wonderful, that's exactly why we did this project to be able to give precise measurements to of, and plan to discuss to the office for the environment because it's and be greatly space agency helps with new need these precise values often to be able to say that the nation has a was implemented doing and so she also said it takes many smart people to make a city heat resilience. thomas now mine is about to meet someone who use this technology to this end. dressings, smart city manager,

certain nice to see here, mitchell and is an expert. he wants to use artificial intelligence and temperature sensors to identify urban heat islands. the sensors here will be one of how many interesting insights god, this is. this is one of our 300 sensors the my colleagues should be arriving shortly. they'll bring all the set up equipment with the cargo bike so that the installation is as environmentally friendly as possible. this sensors, record temperature and humidity in real time. this data is been used to create a heat map of the city. we can't install thousands of sensors, but we can extrapolate temperature trends in the city with our 300 sensors. thanks to the 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. coming into this team, seeing that as my contact with this system, we'll have quantitative data for the 1st time about what it means by naturally to build here or elsewhere. be a 0 balance, but i'm not them on the old stuff that you've thought about where to build and how to build. and then you can feed that into the system and it can tell you how that will impact the heat development in the city of proof. of hadn't been that found that input is interesting for us when we decide whether to go for option a or option b. would it be by end of the smart sensor network will help make construction more robust and better adapted so that the city becomes more heat resilience. it can also help future proof of already existing buildings mitchell and says, interested in now months data from residential buildings that haven't yet had he protection measures that it must be used as

a carpet plot for indoor climate shift. and we start with a building with new measures. yeah, that one's on the board on the red shows how much the state heats up when it's hot outside room for room strongly affecting its residents or by contrast, the building that has heat protection measures is much greener to start from more of a some close to a great extent the city of tomorrow already exists. today we will be altering a lot of existing building users as 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 gonna take structural precautions just for so good to have the prize winning research project to keep resilience. city shows that there is still time to

react, both in smaller cities like preston and, and mega cities around the world like thing. cock learning to live with extreme weather in urban environments is possible. the,

[000:00:00;00] the, the view will tell you who we are happy that we are boxing the story. we have a getting a visa is more difficult than finding gold hosted to use the sales force and for the future in the stories and issues that are being discussed across the country. news africa. in 30 minutes on the w and his own,
