Mobile Sunshades for Heat Protection in the City of Basel
As part of its climate adaptation measures, the City of Basel has installed TK 4m round sunshades in public squares. These high-quality models are particularly stable: they withstand wind speeds of over 100 km/h, providing a reliable solution for highly frequented urban areas. The sunshades were combined with seating and anchored against the wind, making them mobile and flexible in use. This allows urban spaces to be quickly shaded, significantly improving the quality of stay for citizens. Especially during hot summer months, they offer effective sun protection for cities while being elegantly integrated into the urban landscape.
Sunshades for Heat Protection in Urban Spaces
With climate change, measures against overheating in densely built-up areas are becoming increasingly important. Public squares, playgrounds, or marketplaces are often heavily exposed to the sun without sufficient natural shading from trees. This is where professional sunshades for cities come into play. They provide immediate shade, improve the microclimate, and thus make an important contribution to urban climate adaptation.
Cool zones are especially vital for elderly people, children, or individuals with health conditions. Sunshades for heat protection allow municipalities to respond quickly and flexibly to heatwaves. Compared to long-term greening projects, they are ready for immediate use and can be placed in different locations as needed.
Flexible Solutions for Livable Cities
The use of robust and storm-resistant sunshades provides cities and municipalities with a simple, fast, and effective way to enhance public spaces and protect them from overheating. Sun protection in urban areas is therefore not just a matter of comfort, but a key component of climate adaptation to sustainably safeguard quality of life in cities.
