Game Berlin BlauGrün
Visualisation and Activation Tool
Berlin BlueGreen is an interactive digital game designed to showcase the benefits of blue-green infrastructure in urban planning in a playful and engaging manner. Through innovative features such as photorealistic before-and-after images and interactive neighbourhood maps, players can explore the positive impacts of green façades, rainwater retention basins, de-paved areas, and more.
The game aims to raise awareness of climate adaptation and stormwater management while emphasising the importance of these measures in urban development. Targeting a broad audience—from students and curious citizens to professionals—Berlin BlueGreen seeks to inspire active participation in creating sustainable cities in a fun and accessible way.
