Why does your city turn into an oven at night… and how can you fix it? Midnight. The sky is clear, not a breath of wind… and yet, the air remains stifling. You open the window, hoping for a bit of coolness, but instead, a wave of hot air envelops you. Welcome to the urban heat island, this phenomenon that transforms our cities into furnaces at night, even after sunset.
In this video, ADEME explains:
- Why city centers can be up to 10°C warmer than the countryside, especially at night
- How concrete, asphalt, and air conditioners worsen the situation during a heatwave
- What concrete solutions exist for sustainably cooling cities: trees, water, reflective materials, and changes in practices?
Did you know? By 2100, the temperature in France could rise by 4°C… and the stifling nights too. But solutions exist!
