Abstract:

The environment around us is constantly changing. As a result of technical progress, society has ever greater demands for energy, more and more waste and greenhouse gases are produced, industrial areas and cities are growing. In order to prevent irreversible changes in the atmosphere, it is necessary for countries and cities themselves to take measures to reduce emissions, as well as to reduce the negative consequences of a changing climate. Developed countries, in which the climate problem has been occurring for decades, can set an example for other countries. The measures they have adopted with the aim of increasing biodiversity, collecting rainwater, reducing the temperature in the centres and overall improving the living conditions of the residents can serve as inspiration and good practice. This learning-based method should be used by governments, urban architects and other authorities as a tool which could help transform cities of concrete to green. The paper presents examples of selected good practices and points out the fact that adaptation measures that have been adopted in the world are also used to improve living conditions of the inhabitants of the Slovak Republic.
