Urban heat, air pollution, road safety: All cities face the same challenges, just the solutions are different. Paris (15-Minute City) Barcelona (Superblocks), Groningen (Quality of Life Program) feature in this DW documentary. Three European cities with unique histories and common problems: How to reduce pollution, adapt to heatwaves and become more livable. As the world’s urban populations continue to swell, the way cities deal with these challenges will be crucial for us all.
Some people say we can rethink the cities we live in for the better. But what does that actually mean? How can we reclaim and reuse our own cities to make THEM cooler and cleaner, and US happier and healthier? A DW Rev special report.
