    Abstract

    The ongoing climate changes result in numerous negative effects on the human living environment. For cities it is especially challenging to address the problem of rising air temperatures that lead to stronger and more frequent heat waves. In order to readjust city space to new climate conditions, it is of key importance to research and implement adaptation strategies like nature based solutions (NBS) – actions inspired by nature which are sustainable and effective from the ecological, social and economic perspective. In this article, vines implemented on building walls are presented as an example of a nature based solution that ensures lower air temperature and higher thermal comfort. Studies conducted in a housing area in Warsaw – Bemowo district indicate that there is potential space for implementing the proposed idea and the majority of residents are supportive of it.
