Eco-System-City: Heat reduction in Alphen aan den Rijn: measurements for proof

Samenvatting

Alphen aan den Rijn. A city committed to remaining liveable for all its residents. With a vision focused on liveability and climate adaptation, the municipality is working towards a future-proof city centre. Investing in urban green is an important ingredient. It is good for biodiversity, facilitates climate adaptation and creates a pleasant and cool environment. But can we prove this? This is part five of six films on the TKI project Eco-System-City (www.ecosysteemstad.nl), in which we show the importance of green and blue in cities in various research pilots. Production: FocusOn (www.focuson.nl). TKI Eco-System-City is made possible by the Knowledge and Innovation Agenda Agriculture Water and Food of the Dutch government, Top Sector Water & Maritime, Top Sector Agri & Food and Top Sector Horticulture & Starting Materials.
