🌍 If Earth could rate us today, it wouldn’t be a five-star experience… Because today is Earth Overshoot Day — the day we’ve used up all the natural resources our planet can regenerate in a year. Starting tomorrow, we’re living beyond our means. Again. And this year, it’s more than a week earlier than last year. The consequences are already here: extreme heat, water scarcity, biodiversity loss. As individuals, as a society — and as an industry — we all share responsibility. But also: potential. At Drees & Sommer, we believe we can lead the way through tangible change: 🔁 Urban mining 🌱 Living green roofs and facades 🌞 Renewable heat 🧱 Modular, resource-efficient construction 🌾 Bio-based materials 🚉 Smart, integrated mobility systems We’ve implemented many of these — in our own company, across our projects, and in partnership with clients across Europe. But we need to go further. Move faster. And turn bold visions into tangible results. 👉 What do you believe needs to change so we can start pushing Earth Overshoot Day back again?

#AllTogetherNow🌈  🎡🎢🐭 Record-breaking turnout at the Cannstatter Wasen in Stuttgart – and that's without the Wilde Maus roller coaster! Where carousels usually spin, this time everything revolved around our future: More than 4,500 Drees & Sommer employees from around the world came together for Blue Days 2025 at Stuttgart’s iconic Cannstatter Wasen fairgrounds along the Neckar River. Two days full of exchange, strategy, and future-focused thinking. Together, we continue to look ahead – aiming to stay flexible and agile in response to new demands and changing conditions. For our clients, that means a deeply connected team that gets strategy, takes responsibility, and works together to create solutions that truly make a difference.  🌱 The future needs responsibility – and we walked the talk: In partnership with the Kessel Festival, which followed directly after, we used existing infrastructure, technology, and logistics – efficient, resource-friendly, and collaborative in the best sense. ♻️ 🎬 Lights, camera, action – these are two days filled with team spirit, bold ideas, and wow moments! An event that brought us together. A team that makes things happen. A future we’re shaping – together. #TheBlueWay #BlueDays2025 #Dreso #ShapingTheFuture #Sustainability #LivingStrategy 

Ever walked through a city in summer and thought, “𝑊ℎ𝑦 𝑑𝑜𝑒𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑤𝑎𝑙𝑘 𝑓𝑒𝑒𝑙 𝑙𝑖𝑘𝑒 𝑎 𝑓𝑟𝑦𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑝𝑎𝑛?” 🍳🌇 That’s the 𝐔𝐫𝐛𝐚𝐧 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐈𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭, and no — you’re not imagining it. Cities really do trap heat like a bad sauna session. 🌡️ But here’s the good news: we can design our way out of it. At Drees & Sommer, we’re turning up the shade (literally) with tree-lined streets, cool materials, greener facades, and low-tech cooling that works with the climate — not against it. Cool cities? Yes, please. 😎 Hot sidewalks? Hard pass. 𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐭?

🏙️☀️  𝐔𝐫𝐛𝐚𝐧 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐈𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝? 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐭! As temperatures continue to rise globally, cities across our region face intensified challenges from the urban heat island effect — with concrete-heavy environments heating up significantly more than surrounding areas. 🌡️     This isn’t just about comfort; it’s a matter of public health, energy use, and climate resilience.  🔎 At Drees & Sommer, we focus on practical, scalable climate adaptation strategies tailored to our region’s unique challenges. Our specialized teams use computational design tools and localized environmental analysis to adapt global best practices to local conditions, ensuring solutions that are both effective and context sensitive. Here are five solutions we implement in our projects:  ✅ Shaded public areas and tree-lined streets  ✅ Greening facades and opening sealed surfaces  ✅ Reflective and light materials to reduce heat absorption  ✅ Smart vertical construction for better airflow  ✅ Low-tech cooling systems that work with the climate, not against it     Whether you're designing a new district or retrofitting an existing one, these measures can bring measurable impact – and we’re here to support you.     📩 info.shanghai@dreso.com 🌐 www.dreso.cn    #UrbanResilience #ClimateAdaptation #SustainableCities #UrbanSolutions #Dreso
