City Guide for Wesel: Exploring Cool Spots and Insider Tips for a Sizzling HotTime
In response to the increasing number of hot days due to climate change, the city of Wesel, Germany, has taken a proactive step to help its residents stay cool. The city administration has published a map of 27 cool places in the city centre, which can be found in a flyer and online at geoportal.wesel.de/projekt/klima/layer/kuehle_orte.
The flyer, which also provides basic tips for heat protection, includes a variety of cool spots such as green spaces like Heuberg park, casino garden, small park with fountain behind Willibrordi-Dom, Glacis, public toilets, drinking fountains, and the water feature in the pedestrian zone. Notably, the water feature in the pedestrian zone was planned with heat accumulation in mind.
Mayor Ulrike Westkamp explains the city's efforts to seal more surfaces and create new green spaces, with Piko Park at Hugo-Becker-Straße being an example of a new green space. The online version of the map includes not only the city centre but also the districts.
