Overachieving Germans to green the Autoban Leave it to the - TopicsExpress

Overachieving Germans to green the Autoban Leave it to the Germans to be the innovators of everything “das auto” — even if it means burying their most famous highway. The city of Hamburg plans to turn cover a two-mile section of the Autobahn with greenspaces. In total, the roof-parks, complete with woods, gardens, and trails, will add over 60 green acres to the city. It’s significant in part because the Autobahn is most often applauded for its utility, not its beauty. The freeway network, which connects German cities, is designed for maximum speed: The wide, flat, and vast roads never, ever exceed a 4 percent grade. I experienced this firsthand when, two years ago, I sat in the backseat of a Volkswagen driven by an elderly Swiss gentleman named Rolf, both mph and Rolf pushing 80. What struck me most was its bleakness: mile after gray concrete mile, without obstruction. The new plan, led by Hamburg’s Ministry of Urban Development and Environment, has little to do with expediency, and more to do with benefiting the environment by cutting down on traffic, noise, and pollution. grist.org/article/overachieving-germans-to-green-the-autobahn/?utm_content=bufferdb2ec&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&utm_campaign=buffer
