About

The sponge city provides enormous added value. The lush vegetation not only functions as a natural air conditioning system that cools the urban microclimate in summer and regulates the water balance. In addition, the green spaces also serve as places for leisure and local recreation within the city. The water is not only a technical system but also a visible element that you can experience and enjoy. A noticeable quality improvement of life of city dwellers.
