Ludwigsburg under heat: Greens urgently demand more green spaces!

In the charming city of Ludwigsburg, the heat is again a big topic. Ludwigsburg involuntarily draws attention to himself with a modest number in the nationwide heat check of the German Environmental Aid (DUH). According to the DUH, almost 53 percent of the city area are sealed and only around two percent are green lungs. These worrying numbers prompt the Greens' local association to demand more green areas in the city.

"Something has to happen", the Greens say and demand that more in the future will be relied on unlocking, greening and adapting to the city climate. According to the expert opinion, the Arsenalplatz and Berliner Platz in particular could be used much better. In addition, Karlsplatz is considered one of the largest heat islands in the city center, for which solutions are known but have not yet been implemented. In the speech of the Greens, climate protection not only plays a major role, but is also seen as part of the municipal general interest.

Die Stadtbahn Lucie: One step into the green

A promising project to improve the situation is the planned Lucie Stadtbahn. This new type of light not only bears the name Ludwigsburger City-Express, but also stipulates that Schwieberdingen and Markgröningen are better connected to Ludwigsburg, Pattonville and Remseck-Waldingen. The light rail is viewed as an indispensable building block for a climate -friendly city center and is intended to help improve air quality and reduce car traffic.

The first projections show that the light rail could attract over 10,000 passengers a day on the Markgröningen railway. The next phase has already started for the preliminary planning of the light rail routes. Now an profitability account is carried out to check the benefits of the light rail in relation to the costs. Citizens should also be included in the planning in workshops from 2025 and have the opportunity to ask questions.

The context of climate adjustment

The entire topic is embedded in the larger picture of the climate adaptation, as it is also discussed by the Federal Environment Agency. The climate models used there examine microclimatic conditions and air pollutants in cities in order to better understand and react to climate change consequences. Hotspots are identified to initiate targeted measures to improve the urban climate.

The last forecasts for Ludwigsburg show that effective adaptation strategies, such as promoting green areas and sustainable traffic concepts, are not only necessary, but also urgent. Here, the Lucie light railway is emphasized as an important measure in order to implement a change in urban design and to better counter the challenges of climate change.

summarized it is clear that Ludwigsburg is at a crucial moment. The combination of climate protection and urban development is a step in the right direction. Because not only the Greens may want the city to become a piece of greener and more lively - the well -being of all citizens should be in the top priority.
