Temperature assessment
Detmold, a city in Germany, has been recognised for its exceptional green spaces and urban planning, securing the top spot in East Westphalia-Lippe according to the German Environmental Aid's latest ranking. The city also ranks 8th nationwide and 6th in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), as revealed in a heat check.
The city's green credentials are further bolstered by the upcoming renovation of Schloßplatz, which will implement an innovative "sponge city" concept. This approach focuses on storing rainwater in the soil for evaporative cooling, aiming to improve the city's microclimate and contribute to climate change adaptation. A significant 39 new trees have already been planted as part of this project, with more to come.
Detmold's commitment to sustainability is also evident in its plans for a "green belt". This initiative includes existing green facilities, which will be expanded by pocket parks and the future "Future Pleasure Park Friedrichstal" at the open-air museum. A substantial 3.3 million euros is being allocated for this expansion, with a large portion earmarked for adapting urban spaces to climate change.
The city's industrial sector is also playing its part in Detmold's green success. The first sustainable industrial park in Lippe, Sander, is contributing positively to the city's top position.
Mayor Frank Hilker comments on Detmold's green status, stating, "Detmold remains the greenest city in Germany." However, no new comments from Mayor Hilker or other officials regarding the heat impact index, heavily heat-stressed areas, or nationwide or regional rankings are mentioned in the press release from the city portal of Detmold.
For inquiries, Thorsten Engelhardt can be contacted via the provided email and phone number. The press release does not provide new information about Detmold's heat impact index or heavily heat-stressed areas.
