Berlin’s *Digital Plants* Project Aims to Green the City Faster Than Ever
Berlin is launching a new digital project to simplify urban greening. The initiative, called Digital Plants, will focus on making it easier for residents to plant and maintain greenery around tree pits. With rising temperatures and extreme weather affecting the city, officials and community groups are working together to boost biodiversity and climate resilience.
The project is led by Fachhochschule Wedel, alongside experts from Leuphana University, the University of Hamburg, and local gardening, beekeeping, and agricultural associations. Their goal is to develop an open-source digital tool that replaces paper forms with online applications and approvals. This system aims to speed up routine requests, handle exceptions more efficiently, and track existing plantings across the city.
The Digital Plants project will reduce paperwork for both residents and authorities. Faster approvals and better monitoring could lead to more greenery in Berlin’s cities. If successful, the tool may serve as a model for similar efforts in other cities facing climate challenges.
