Billions of people in cities around the world are affected by climate change. Sustainable urban planning can help reduce risks and improve life in urban centers.
Thai landscape architect Kotchakorn Voraarkhom demonstrates how this can be achieved. Her home city of Bangkok is suffering greatly from climate change. For years, the metropolitan region with around 15 million inhabitants has been threatened by heavy rainfall and flooding.
The risk of more flooding is constantly increasing: The megacity, located just above sea level, is sinking every year. To counteract this, Kotchakorn Voraarkhom is focusing on sustainable architecture and trying to bring nature back into the concrete jungle. Her approach is groundbreaking and has set an example for other regions.
Georg Hofer, a pioneer of natural building materials, hails from Lower Bavaria. In times of climate change, he has turned to a centuries-old building material: clay. The list of clay‘s positive properties is long. Clay requires little energy to produce, produces hardly any CO2 and is free of pollutants. Used as a building material, clay can also regulate the temperature. In extreme heat, clay houses stay cool, while in winter clay houses benefit from a robust heat storage capacity.

@CampingforCool41 4 месяца назад

I think the point is that even while these sorts of things are still going to be built, we can build them better suited to make the cities healthier than they are now. Like, the parking garage for the government center was going to be built regardless, at least this way it’s being built to be porous and not contribute to the flooding problem that city has.

@_asphobelle6887 4 месяца назад

At least it's not as bad as a sterile parking lot. But yeah, I mostly agree, even more so because cars are a big part of the problem, and in a metropolis like Bangkok you shouldn't need one, much less parking facilities in a new building.

@ashy969 2 месяца назад

If we have some concrete buildings which need to have that stability and weight bearing (parking lots) but we build other buildings with sustainable materials, that is okay. Problem is, now we build everything from concrete and rebuild them from scratch due to poor quality or unappealing design... We have to stop that. Loam is a good idea to use in many circumstances and parking lots are still needed (for example to keep cars away from city centers, you need to be able to park them when you come from the outskirts). I do not even know how to drive, but I accept that some professions and some circumstances warrant it still. But we can still move to a more sustainable way than where we are now.

@ashy969 2 месяца назад

I love in Helsinki Finland. We don't have crazy heat, but when outside it's around 28C, in concrete apartments it's 35.... We insulated our houses against cold. And we oriented our windows and balconies so we maximise sun exposure (winters are dark...). My grandma had a loam house and it was cold in summer warm in winter. I could kill for that in summer days... But... Loam and swampy, slow draining, wet lands don't do well together... And not all countries have clay in the soil to create loam. We have wood however... And rocky ground. We also have green areas everywhere... It helps in so many levels

@SheriKeenan 4 месяца назад

Excellent documentary. I live in a small residence in a mobile home park and we are doing all we can in our small area to use trees and vegetation to keep it cooler. We have recently built over the composition roof with polyiso insulation and a frame work and used reflective foil to keep more heat out. each layer has an air flow gap. On top of the frame work a white metal roof was attached. Inside the small attic another layer of polyiso insulation was added. Our whole house HVAC unit on a cement pad which replaced a closet unit. The thermostat has been turned up to 79 Fahrenheit and is still comfortable inside the 14x60 mobile home with a pitched roof. After getting an electric bill last year of $400 dollars for a single month which was twice as much as we were spending before the pandemic it was time to start insulating as much as possible. We have been running 10 to 15 degrees above the average temperature of 94 F. We are now running between 105 F to 108 F. We are living in the south end of the san Joaquin Valley in California and this heat is not normal or some kind of natural cycle. This is definitely a man made problem as we are changing the earth's natural cycles and global warming is very real.

What they call Loom in europe we call adobe in the SW US. Adobe is made from clay and straw. When a home is built from adobe it takes longer for outside heat to get inside. Plus it's organic material, so can go directly back into the earth. Plus it last a very long time. It's also bug resistant and fire resistant.

What is needed is to decrease total heat production, not a simple conversion from sensible heat (drybulb temperature) to latent heat (evaporated water and increased humidity). High albedo surfaces and selective IR emitters are among the feasible ways forward.

Issues of flooding, hail storms, snow (which is very rare in Africa, our winters are dry and wet/rainy) and now it's ridiculously hot even for a place like Africa! It is unbearable in summer in these concrete buildings, AC or not but somehow our "mud huts" were clowned then but it has always been a way better green option than concrete then and now... All because we are trying to fit in European standards of civilization. *Please note, not everything European is inherently bad or evil. We appreciate the advances western civilization has positively contributed to the world but let's agree that concrete mega cities are not sustainable.

@whynottalklikeapirat 4 месяца назад

I do not strongly question our ability to invent solutions I do not strongly object to the proposition that maybe we have time to act. My main concerns are three-fold: - the impact of the momentum of our whole system of production on ecisionmaking and acting on a large scale on the nature of the problem as it is currently understood. - And in terms of culturally validating and implementing initiatives - or even recognising the problem in the first place - the perfect ability of a large part of the human population to ignore, project responsibility for or vehemently deny the problem until the point of individual annihilation. - The systemic impact on the efficacy of rationality in societies increasingly developing into fear-based cultures under these pressures characterised by authortarianism, denial of reality and the existence of truth, paranoia towards the other and a rise in armed conflict. Those I think have the potential to derail any structured attempt at general survival.

12:10 being heavy (this plaster) is NOT ideal! It’s rather the opposite!!! It increases the sizes of the structural skeleton, plus that of the foundation, and will be detrimental for buildings in seismic areas. On the contrary, lightweight construction holds way more promise, as it has been established from solid scientific research. Arguing that loam has good thermal capacity does not suffice to counteract all these problems that it creates! In fact, scientists work in finding light-weight solutions for these building applications. However, bio-based materials is part of the future built environment problem solution. It is just that this guy’s (loam) one-material solution, will never be the case for addressing the very complicated problem of the future buildings. It needs a combined system. Not a one-material solution! For example, prefabricated wall panelised systems, that include bio-based materials appear to be part of the future. On-site construction has been evidenced to relate to many problems, and should be minimized!

@AA-vi1cc 4 месяца назад

The timing of seasonal temp variation is becoming less predictable due to the polar jet stream slowing down and becoming more sinuous. High latitude areas are particularly vulnerable to this increasing variability. The destabilization of the polar jet stream is due to the polar cell warming faster than any other part of the planet which reduces the energy exchange with the sub polar cell you’re all living in. This slower more sinuous atmospheric circulation creates stagnant alternating pockets of extreme cold at lower latitudes and extreme heat higher latitudes

One of the good things about this piece is showing that there are some governments that are being responsive and proactive to deal with climate change. That's good government at work. Having said that, that type of construction (loam) is nothing new, in Spanish Loam is adobe or lodo, they are just using it in different ways. The cisterns that she's building were in use about 4,000 years BCE by people in Lebanon. The Romans also used them. I think, and correct me if I am wrong, the Spanish called them Aljibes. The Mayans called them Chultúns. It's ancient technology adapted for cities today. I think using Loam is a wonderful idea especially in Northern Europe where earthquakes are few and far between and when you guys have them they are not very strong. Adobe construction regulates temperature and humidity really well. I wish we could use them in the ring of fire, but we cannot.

It is pure stupidity to even argue that building climate resilient structures saves us. It is only a TINY portion of the problem. LOSING FARMLANDS and FRESH WATER are much greater ones. Losing most of the natural resources like coral reefs among 25% of marine life will hit us hard too. We are losing mountain glaciers that grants us most fresh water (ie. Alpine glaciers gone by 2050-2070, 40% of Europe's fresh water). Heatwaves, wildfire, heavy rain and flood -cycle is taking its toll everywhere. Most major food production areas might get hit soon, if jet stream gets it waves in some already predicted pattern. At over 32C plants shutdown their breathing and stops photosynthesis. When this happens longer timeperiods, plants die. Without food and water there will be no cities. Even if we could build everything that we have already build again with higher standards and all possible extreme events in mind takes time and most of the remaining resources. And while trying to do so, we keep on harming and making great harm to the very systems that we seek to get covered. Concrete buildings - mostly means loads of ghgs. Metals - more ghgs. And so on. What we has to do is build cities for all coastal residents, because they will get flooded. 12-20 meters of sea level rise by 2300 at only 2C (State of cryosphere 2023). That will impact half of the global population directly and all indirectly. 77% of IPCC climate experts says that we end to 2,5-5,0C (or over) warming. Therefore, just building cities to be more resilent does not matter. It only matters if we get our emissions in control and very soon. The only real thing that gives us real protection is taking out the very emissions that creates this mess. And while doing so, keep also SO2 emissions in mind, lessening cloud cover will rise temperatures rapidly. The most impactful thing today is: Stop burning fossil fuels.

If you're worried about deaths due to climate, cold temperature events are the big killer, not heat. It is estimated that 5.1 million people annually die in association with non-optimal temperatures. 4.6 million are link to the cold, so over 90% (Zhao et al, 2021). And it is worst in the warmer parts of the world. 98% of temperature related deaths in SubSaharan Africa are due to the cold. Temperature events may be linked to upto 10% of human deaths annually, and therefore a greater cause of mortality than air pollution. In a warming world there will be less death.

@dougtheslug6435 4 месяца назад

100 C? I've been on many roofs in my 37 years in construction and have never seen temps that high, that's the boiling point. Humans couldn't much more then 60 C for just a few minutes.

@@dougtheslug6435 I had working in very hot weather, approx 39 Celsius. We was ordered us to drink about 1/2 litre of water, thirsty or not, before we began working. 10 minters later it was break time, and we felt thirsty, and happily drank another 1/2 litre.of water We was totally exhausted and boss cancelled work for the rest of the day, and send us home, because it was so hot.

Among all the climate change disasters, sea level rise is probably the most difficult one for coastal cities to adapt to. And retreat will eventually be considered by governments and communities.

Sea level rise is the least of our worries. Growing crops at scale will be the biggest along with the collapse of insurance industries

@Emiliapocalypse 4 месяца назад

sea level rise will affect many, even those not considered coastal. The sea water rising will infiltrate and salivate the groundwater inland, making it hard to use for anything

the first problem we need to address is usage of plastics. laws allow every tiny item to be wrapped in plastic. plastic is being thrown into rivers and navigates into the sea in the third world countries. we must by all means invest in developping biodegradable packaging products. crop residuals are a starting point. why isn't the society massively investing here?

I lived in Germany years ago. My Dad in USAF there. We lived in a German village for about a year. Even then energy costs were high. We used the external shades like the lady in the apartment. Especially to keep cooler. But have read that in the U.S. they are considered against fire code as they block access out of a building and access into a building if needed by firefighters in case of a fire. That building with the loam is pretty awesome. Hope that catches on in a lot more places.
