How The Hottest Cities Are Cooling Down

[Music] 5 million five million people die every single year and it's not because of cancer or any other dangerous disease with no cure so then what's killing five million people crazy [Music] people are dying because it's either too cold or really really hot today instead of focusing on the problem I want to take you on a trip around the world to see the crazy things cities are doing to become colder in the city of New York they're putting reflective paint on the roofs of buildings why so the concrete doesn't absorb heat and make the city hotter this way paint can just reflect the sunlight back a simple solution with Incredible results stop it go away I mean no we depend on you but but it's not just New York even Chicago is painting their streets in light colors for the same reason think about it like this wearing a white T-shirt in the summer makes you feel way cooler than wearing a black one it's the same with buildings the lighter they are the cooler they are in Stuttgart Germany they planted Gardens all over the city to create air corridors that carry cool air from the mountains into the city it's because trees provides shade yes but they also do this crazy thing where they absorb heat and let out water so basically one tree like this can cool as much as two small air conditioners so it's no surprise that in Melbourne they turn this street into this less parking spaces and more trees and in Louisville one of the hottest cities in the US is gonna plant almost half a million trees just to cool down in Vienna they have cool streets with machines that miss that water so that people can chill out but it's not just Vienna even in Tokyo you'll see Street fans that don't just let out air but also water to cool temperatures and also in Tokyo they have a building with skin well bioskin it is a huge layer of small bamboo pipes that take rain water and distribute it all over the building to cool it down in Singapore we found a hotel that's made out of plants I'm not kidding this hotel has plants growing all over its walls which makes it much cooler and looks so much nicer [Music] the truth is all of these projects are amazing but they're not enough to solve the climate emergency they're not enough to save human lives what we need is global change across cities countries and billions of people change that starts with you and change that starts with me foreign [Music]
