More trees/shrubs for the neighbourhood – mobile plants for more shade and biodiversity

Idea not chosen
What should be created?
The idea is to place more trees and shrubs in the pilot district of Alt-Wiedikon and Binz. For this purpose, young plants are placed in mobile planters, which can be moved if necessary. These immediately bring more greenery to places that today have little shade and little biodiversity. The mobile elements visibly show how a square with more greenery can look. They create cooler places to stay, improve the microclimate and invite people to linger. An important component is a godfather system. Neighbourhood residents, children and families can take responsibility for individual plants. They help with care, watering, care and moving the plants to another location. This creates social added value for all generations, a personal connection to nature and a learning effect. If the plants are large enough, they can be planted permanently later. In this way, more long-term greening is being created in the district step by step. The mobile planters are a flexible and visible measure for climate adaptation, biodiversity and a better quality of life in the neighbourhood.
