Children are building a cooler city that is better adapted to heat
You’ve probably already noticed: our climate is changing! Extreme weather such as heat waves become more severe and more frequent. During summer, these heat waves can lead to higher temperatures in cities compared to rural areas. This is called the urban heat island effect. In short, between the concrete and the asphalt you feel the heat more, especially at night! High temperatures and heat stress can lead to health problems. But what would happen if we converted all the car parks into parks?
With the LEGO urban climate game, you are the architect of the future. Build your miniature city with LEGO, and with the help of artificial intelligence, you can immediately see the impact of buildings, greenspace and water on the temperature. Can you make your neighbourhood cooler and better adapted to heat?
