Bremen Schwachhausen: Heat action plan secures cool places for 2050!

The heat action plan on the agenda in Bremen is also

with increasing temperatures. As the Weser-Kurier A pleasant climate, especially thanks to the citizens' park and the numerous street trees. Compared to other parts of the city such as Steingor, the perceived temperature can be classified as a moderate, which is a real advantage for the residents.

The statistical location shows that the temperatures in Bremen are between 21 and 39 degrees in Bremen. At night it cools down to a bearable 14.5 to 18.5 degrees. For 2050, an increase in the perceived temperature is predicted up to 45 degrees, provided the trees are preserved. This development could in particular influence commercial and private developments at the hottest points in Schwachhausen, around Buchen, Uhland, Weißenburger- and Wätjstrasse.

challenges from urban growth

Another worrying topic is the planned development of the Horner lace, which is considered an essential cold air cutting. As the European environmental agency , urban metropolitan areas such as Bremen will be particularly affected by the increasing frequency and intensity of heat waves. This development could lead to health impairments in the long term, especially for endangered people such as seniors and toddlers who can seek little cooling in the heat period.

The Bürgerpark and the Riensberg cemetery are already serving many Bremen as a retreat on hot days, while allotment garden areas support rather inadequate in cooling. This clearly shows that the strategic preservation and expansion of green city population is crucial for the quality of life.

implementation of the heat action plan

The heat action plan not only serves risk communication, but also to warning the population in heat waves. The aim is to bring everyone involved together and create synergies. The BMUV were developed to support the implementation of these plans and to increase their effectiveness.

However, there are still challenges at the municipal level: While 50 % of the administrations surveyed are working on developing their individual heat action plans, the majority of the expectations are left behind. The recommendations from the numerous studies also show that older people and women in particular could benefit from these measures to reduce their risk of death.

in Schwachhausen, where awareness of the problem has already been sharpened, there is a chance to take a positive impact on the city climate by focusing on the preservation and care of trees. The motto could be: "Together for a cooler Bremen!"
