In recent years the microclimate of central urban areas has changed and heat islands have been created. How can we solve the problem of heat islands in Belgrade?
Challenge description
There is a constant increase in population in Belgrade, while the area remains approximately the same.
This has the effect of increasing the density of construction and reducing green areas.
As a result, a large amount of warming occurs, which is caused by the emission of accumulated heat from the built structures.
The city of Belgrade is trying to solve the problems of heat islands through greening public spaces. The implementation of measures only in public areas is insufficient.
How can citizens be animated and contribute to solving the problem?
