Planning and Design Practices for Coping with Climate Change in Urban Parks in Berlin, Germany: A Case Study of EVFBS Cemetery Park.

Urban parks, as a vital component of green infrastructure, significantly contribute to alleviating the impacts of climate change and enhancing the urban ecosystem. This paper examines the EVFBS Cemetery Park in Berlin as a case study to elucidate the significant role of centralized urban greening, exemplified by urban cemetery parks, in addressing the challenges posed by urban climate change. Through field research, data collection, and various methodologies, this study examines the specific planning and design measures employed to address climate-related challenges, including air purification, temperature regulation, and mitigation of the urban heat island effect. Additionally, it explores the multifaceted roles of urban parks in enhancing the quality of the urban ecological environment, promoting biodiversity, and providing recreational spaces for residents. The aim is to elucidate the significance of diverse urban parks within the climate regulation strategies of contemporary metropolises. By comparing and discussing relevant practices and successful experiences in climate-adaptive design from Berlin, and summarizing advanced concepts and planning experiences that may serve as valuable references for the development of urban green spaces in China, it examines the significance of urban park greening for climate regulation in contemporary cities.
