Wondering how we can green our cities? The Students present their research on The Green Dip to Winy Maas at #IAAC. Next week the finals, Exciting times :D!

What would your city look like if it was completely covered in green? What would the impact be on the urban environment and the life of its citizens? How much would it cost to maintain it?

Last week, the Why Factory conducted a Green Dip workshop at IAAC in Barcelona together with students from the Master in City and Technology program. They produced visions of seven cities completely dipped into green. For each of these cities, they made challenging calculations related to the cost and benefits of nature based solutions, collecting data related to each city and each plant such as energy production, soil retention, water needs, maintenance cost, CO2 absorption, oxygen production etc.

How to measure the benefits and costs of different plants? How much soil do they need? How much water do they need and how much can they store? How much evaporation and cooling do they provide with? How much maintenance do they need? What are the effect of sun and wind orientation? How much does planting cost?
