Immobilien: Welche Städte beim Hitzeschutz vorbildlich sind – und welche hinterherhinken
Der Klimawandel zeigt sich auch am Thermometer: Städte und Gebäude müssen auf häufigere Extremhitze eingestellt werden. Welche Orte gut gewappnet sind – und wo Nachholbedarf besteht.
Frankfurt – Germany is facing increasing temperatures, with many cities struggling to cope with extreme heat of 40 degrees or more. As global average temperatures rise, people must adapt to a harsher heat environment, including changes in cityscape and buildings. Michael Heigl, sustainability manager at consultancy Wüest Partner, notes that investors must consider future climate resilience of locations more than before.
To help real estate owners, two recent studies have been evaluated by the Handelsblatt. The Deutsche Umwelthilfe (DUH) examined all 195 German cities with over 50,000 inhabitants, focusing on the amount of land covered by trees and bushes. Meanwhile, Wüest Partner created a heat index, considering which cities and neighborhoods experience higher temperatures during heatwaves.
The Handelsblatt highlights the locations that are best prepared for heat, as well as areas that need improvement.
