Gardens in the City

More urban greenery for effective climate and flood protection "Gardens in the City"

Green and natural urban open spaces are not just an accompaniment to the buildings of a city: Against the background of the noticeable effects of climate change and the associated extreme weather, they are of the utmost importance for the urban climate, an indispensable habitat for plants, animals and humans and increase the quality of life in cities and communities.

Effective environmental, climate and flood protection is only possible with more greenery in the cities!

The exhibition presents successful examples of how this can be achieved as part of the results of the "Gardens in the City" competition for 2023. For many years now, the Free State of Saxony has been honoring green design projects that show successful alternatives to sealed open spaces. Outstanding projects were awarded in the three categories "Open spaces at public facilities - green spaces/parks/playgrounds", "Outdoor facilities in residential areas or recreational areas within commercial areas" and "Other newly designed open space systems".

The projects are presented using before and after photos and accompanying texts as a successful joint effort by developers, planners and garden and landscaping companies.

The exhibition shows the diversity of newly created or reconstructed urban open spaces with high design quality, aesthetic standards and function-oriented design.
