Little green in the city centers of Austria
109
The group Greenpeace examines city centers. They use photos from space. The results show big differences between cities. Bregenz has the most green areas. 38 point 3 percent of the area is green. Linz is second. Graz is third. Innsbruck has the least green area. It has only 25 percent. Vienna and St. Pölten also have little green. These cities have many sealed surfaces made of concrete. Trees and meadows help the climate. They work like a natural cooling machine. Green areas lower the heat by up to 11 degrees. Greenpeace asks for more courage from politicians. Planners should build more parks. They should make courtyards green. This protects people from summer heat.
