Lima Beyond the Park II

Lima, a desert city – with limited water resources and over one million inhabitants without connection to drinking water systems. Lima, the second driest capital in the world – How do its green spaces relate to the desert cityŽs water challenges? How can open spaces be designed to reduce water-consumption and be attractive, ecological and socially inclusive at the same time? These questions were tackled in a German-Peruvian summer school (https://www.ilpoe.uni-stuttgart.de/lehre/architektur/rueckschau/lehrveranstaltungen/summer_school.html) with 32 students from different countries and backgrounds.
