YOUR GUIDE TO THE FUTURE

Population growth and the development of the city have caused the City of Semarang to be vulnerable to not only floods but also drought. The intense built-up area in the city have caused the heavy water to run off that creates flooding during rainy season and reduced the capacity of ground water absorption that creates clean water scarcity during the dry season.

Our urban built-up area is made up of materials that absorbs heat. The trapped heat caused a phenomenon called Urban Heat Island Effect that make our city’s temperature goes up. The Urban Heat Island Effect exacerbate the air pollution and threatens our health.
