The award recognised best practice examples that demonstrated how municipalities can use their urban green spaces to positively influence the urban climate and reduce the negative effects of extreme weather. The award scheme honoured approved innovative concepts for a climate-adapted and vital urban green.

In the picture you can see the logo of the federal award Bundespreis Stadtgrün. It contains 5 people who are in different weather zones with sunshine and rain between buildings and greenery.
