Where cars are currently parked, Prunus sargentii, Prunus padus or Sophora japonica are to be planted on the street in Augsburg from spring. These are tree species that also exist in times of climate change, and they are selected for planting in large troughs that are intended to beautify the newly created pedestrian zone in Augsburg’s boulevard Maximilianstrasse. The Swabian metropolis is expanding its pedestrian zone, a project that has been under discussion for years and is part of a Bavarian-wide trend.
