More Shade for the City – Planters for Basel

Climate change is becoming increasingly noticeable in our cities – and residents particularly suffer during the summer heat. Trees are the most effective way to combat heat on paved streets and squares. But planting large trees isn’t always feasible. In such cases, planters come into play, offering shade and relief in urban environments.

These mobile elements bring greenery and vibrancy to public spaces, especially where conventional tree planting isn’t possible. Thanks to integrated insulation and an efficient irrigation system, the trees thrive even under demanding urban conditions. Anyone who takes a seat on the surrounding Landi bench enjoys a small green oasis in the heart of the city.

Crafted from high-quality, glass bead-blasted stainless steel using a resource-efficient metal forming process, the planter exemplifies our commitment to durability, functionality, and craftsmanship. Its base ring allows precise leveling, even on uneven surfaces.

As part of the City of Basel's Urban Climate Strategy, the new planters demonstrate how simple solutions can contribute to climate-adapted urban development.
