“Where there’s a will, there’s a way”: the fight against heat starts with people
In a morning interview with RAI Alto Adige, Andreas Kipar reflects on how to combat extreme heat in cities by creating natural urban climate systems, based on the community involvement.
From Bolzano to Saudi Arabia, with the concrete example of innovative water management brought by Al Urubah Park in Riyadh, what is most needed are people willing to commit to reducing temperatures in cities.
If there is the will to change the city, to break up asphalt surfaces and rediscover its “natural vocation” — the rivers, valleys, and hills that run through and surround it — then cycles of fresh air and “natural air conditioning” can emerge.
Every single individual can thus contribute to making city temperatures bearable again.
