Un’intera città svedese si è trasferita e all’improvviso fa 10 gradi più freddo

>Originally, Kiruna was situated on a sunny southern slope, with winding streets that prevented the wind from easily passing through, and instead of large squares, there were many smaller green spaces and intersections. These aspects were not considered in the new planning.

>The new area is located in a darker valley, about 100 meters lower than the old one. As a result, there is less sunlight, especially in winter, and the cold air accumulates in the depression. Additionally, the alleys and streets were laid out straight, allowing the wind to sweep through. The small squares were replaced by large, open areas or shopping centers. According to the University of Gothenburg study, the buildings in the center are so tall and the streets so narrow that the low-standing sun barely reaches the ground for many months of the year.

Intressant, har aldrig tänkt på hur gatorna påverkar vinden förut.
