Overview

  • Dive into the extreme microclimates of a chemical hub. Ludwigshafen is characterised by industrial ambition, but this demanded an overwhelming tribute: the urban heat island. On this tour, you feel the temperature differences up close. We start on the sealed, heat-storing asphalt of the BASF site, go through the dense street canyons of the Hemshof, and end in the deliberately designed oasis of the Ebertpark. Discover the reality of urban ecology, the health crises of hot summer nights, and the sensory design that makes green spaces important urban infrastructure.
