In order to plan the necessary sustainable revegetation of urban parks, streets, and courtyards, we must first answer the overarching question of how climate protection and resilience measures can integrated into beautiful, livable cities.

The contributions in this volume present discussions of integrated approaches to the green city from experts in both theory and practice across a range of different disciplines, as well as from the heads of various German city planning departments.
