EXECUTIVE BOOKLET CityTree
A piece of nature
in the city of the future
Imagine the city of the future.
Wouldn’t it be nice to find
nature in it?
More than half of humanity lives in cities – and the
trend is rising. Cities are clearly the living space of the
future. And yet our most important resource – the
air in cities – is so polluted that breathing is harmful
to our health. The future we have in mind is one in
which fresh air in urban areas is available to every-
one. That’s why we have developed the world’s
first bio-tech filter for quantifiably better air quality:
The CityTree.
THE CITY OF THE FUTURE STANDS FOR:
Quality of life Connectivity Sustainable mobility
Greening Coworking CO2-neutral building and living
The CityTree as an innovative solution combines these components and contributes to a healthier and futureor-
iented urban climate. The creation of urban fresh air zones allows citizens to relax and take a deep breath. The
integrated sensors and additional extensions also pave the way to many other possibilities in the area of smart
city infrastructure and communication.
Meet the CityTrees with all its characteristics!

The problem of air pollution
and the natural filter power of moss
Air pollution
In the discussions about the global environmental problem of air pollution, the term „fine dust“ if often used. Fine dust refers to solid or liquid parti-
cles that float through the air for a certain amount of time. Depending on the size, a distinction is made between PM10 (10 μm), PM2.5 (2.5 μm) and
ultra-fine particles (0.1 μm). These particles enter the human body through the respiratory tract and can cause disease and death.
FINE DUST GENERATORS COMPOSITION OF FINE DUST HEALTH IMPACT

The CityTree on site
In order to set up the CityTree, three steps are carried out: First we select a potential location based on desirability, then we check for its technical
feasibility, and finally we customise the CityTree according to the use case.
Location attractiveness
01 Selection of CityTree locations based on the criteria of air quality, quality of stay (user experience) and visibility.
ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE QUALITY OF STAY VISIBILITY
By identifying locations with particularly high levels We create a place that invites to relax and take a deep CityTrees not only improve air quality, but also offer

Together, we are bringing
nature back into the City!
Air pollution is a global problem and affects all parts of society. In order to
make life in the city healthier and greener, many people must work together.
Our client groups are therefore diverse and reflect different areas of urban
life. They range from the real estate sector and neighborhood development
to CSR management of companies and events to schools, cities and munici-
palities. Our goal is to implement CityTrees wherever air pollution is a prob-
lem and thus make clean air accessible to all.
