As the frequency of hot days and tropical nights rises, Zurich is gradually transforming into a heat island. To understand the implications for our well-being, join our guided tour. Discover the reasons behind the changing local climate and its impact. Throughout the tour, explore different stations in the exhibition room and outdoors, where you’ll witness how plants, water, shaded areas, and light surfaces contribute to cooler temperatures. Additionally, gain insight into the significance of air currents from higher environments. Uncover the strategies employed to mitigate the heat island effect and ensure a more comfortable environment for all.

Meeting point: in front of the entrance to the exhibition under the rainbow-coloured shadow installation.
