Experts: One of the more recognizable specimens in the capital
It is a myth that harms ivy wallsComments Katarzyna Rzemarynowska, architect and city plannerA specialist in landscape architecture and the history of garden art, in an interview with AIB. – On the other hand, the Ivy grows very intensely at some point, so it is necessary for care and normal pruning. Arguments that the plant is a threat are simply not true. Even if a piece of ivy falls off, it is light and soft, it does not harm anyone. Ivy decorates the building and primarily protects the facade from precipitation: it absorbs water and therefore dries the plaster. In summer it protects the building from excessive heat and protects it from heat loss in winter. With the continuing warming of the climate, every green trunk that can reduce the temperature in the city itself a little in summer is a bonus.
The Institute for the Protection of the Pommerian landscapeWhat experts brings together in the field of spatial planning and the protection of cultural and natural landscapes also got up to defend Ivy.

The ivy copy that is the wall of the building on the corner of the Holy Spirit and the streets of Zlotników over 20 years old and is a healthy, robust and flowering specimen that measures more than 6 meters high (…). It is undeniably a decorative specimen, one of the recognizable in the capital. It contributes to the charm of the entire tenement house and the entire district of Danzel town houses. (…) In order to prevent the effects of global warming, cities try to always be green, ” Reads an opinion of Prof. Piotr Rutkowski from the UG Biology Department, a member of the IOCP board.
Prof. Rutkowski added that the residents of Gdansk are positive in planting trees in the city or increasing the green space of neighborhoods: trees are planted, pocket parks are placed and flower meadows are sown.
Planting trees in the quarters of historical apartments can be difficult, so the role of the green of the city is often played by vines. By carrying out photosynthesis, the plant contributes to the binding of carbon dioxide and leads to a reduction in the temperature in its immediate environment. The water that evaporates from the leaves absorbs heat from the environment that lowers the air temperature around the system. The plant acts as a natural air conditioning system “,” Prof. Rutkowski emphasized.
