Při transformaci veřejných i soukromých
objektů a území se setkáváme s několika
výzvami, které vyžadují pečlivé pláno-
vání i provedení. Vzhledem k rostoucí
potřebě přemýšlet o klimatické změně
a jejích dopadech, je jednou z počáteč-
ních forem podpory právě poradenství.
Firmy, obce a developery často trápí
nedostatek komplexních pohledů na ře-
šení problémů spojených s klimatickými
výzvami a nedostatek praktických zna-
lostí. Pro dosažení udržitelného rozvoje
měst je tak nejen důležité implemento-
vat modrozelenou infrastrukturu, ale
i poskytovat odbornou podporu a sdílet
know-how mezi aktéry, kteří mají moc
formovat budoucnost našich měst.
Právě proto Moravskoslezský kraj s dalšími
13 partnery realizuje projekt LIFE COALA,
který odpovídá na tyto potřeby a přináší
potřebné nástroje a podporu. Důležitým
portálem, který sdružuje tuto nabídku pro
soukromý i veřejný sektor, je právě vzni-
kající informační systém s názvem MiSe
Klima, který budou moci zájemci využívat
od počátku roku 2024.
Blue-green Infrastructure:
A New Path to Sustainable Urbanism
Urban life is constantly evolving and with it comes new challenges associated with the rapid
process of urbanisaon. One of the perspecves that is gradually shaping our percepon
of urban space is the concept of blue-green infrastructure. Linking water and green spaces
in cies, which are not just aesthec elements, but bring concrete and measurable benets
necessary to promote sustainable development.
The blue-green infrastructure creates
a network of elements that brings
several significant benefits. They
optimize water management, help
improve biodiversity and protect cities
from environmental challenges such as
flooding, heat waves and other adverse
climatic events. For example, green
roofs or facades are not just a decoration
or a trend, but also an important tool
for energy efficiency. Since they can
capture rainwater (intensive green
roofs capture up to 95% of rainfall,
extensive ones around 70%), cool and
humidify the surrounding environment,
they prevent overheating and thus
contribute to reducing air conditioning
costs. Studies confirm that the cooling
effect of these elements can reduce
temperatures by up to 1.5 - 9.5 °C.
We must not forget the importance
of urban parks and recreational areas,
which not only serve as oases of
peace and relaxation, but also actively
contribute to biodiversity conservation
and support natural ecosystems. Water
features such as ponds, watering holes
or fountains not only enrich the visual
aspect of urban space, but also act as
key elements in maintaining ecological
balance.
The transformation of public and
private buildings and areas face several
challenges that require careful planning
and execution. Given the growing need
to think about climate change and its
impacts, one of the initial forms of support
is counselling. Companies, municipalities
and developers are often plagued by
a lack of comprehensive perspectives on
addressing climate challenges and a lack
of practical knowledge. Thus, to achieve
sustainable urban development, it is not
only important to implement blue-green
infrastructure, but also to provide expert
support and share know-how among
the players who have the power to shape
the future of our cities.
That is why the Moravian-Silesian
Region and 13 other partners are
implementing the LIFE COALA project,
which responds to these needs and
provides the necessary tools and
support. An important portal that
brings together this offer for the private
and public sector is the information
system called 'MiSe Klima', which is
currently being developed and will be
available to interested parties from the
beginning of 2024.
Zelené střechy nebo fasády nejsou jen okrasou
nebo trendem, ale i účinným nástrojem
pro energeckou efekvitu.
Green roofs or facades are not just a decoraon
or a trend, but also an important tool
for energy eciency.
