Fresh air corridor

Fresh air corridors (also known as fresh air corridors) are areas kept free in cities that are used to supply the inner city districts with circulating air . In these areas, buildings (buildings, dams, forests, etc.) are specifically prevented in order to allow fresh air flows. They are an important instrument for climate regulation in large cities.

However, not all open spaces are suitable as fresh air corridors. The air flow depends on the topography (terrain). Slopes in particular are better suited than fresh air corridors in comparison with flat terrain or terrain cuts in cities.
