Cycling

In hot weather, the city's auxiliary heating kicks in. Climate change is bringing more hot days. And in densely built-up cities, it's even triggering an extra heating system: buildings and road surfaces, with their large areas, store the heat and release it slowly or reflect it back like a mirror. It's warmer in cities than in the surrounding countryside. *
You can experience this for yourself here on the bench. Take a seat above different surfaces:
Dark asphalt, grass, grass under a shady tree, water-bound limestone gravel, and light-colored concrete paving. They are all different temperatures – warm or cool.

The installation is not intended as a bench to rest. Here you can find out that asphalt and concrete give off more heat than gravel. Maybe this is new to some viewers.
