Blue Green Infrastructure
Sponge city concepts for healthy urban green spaces
The consequences of climate change – heavy rainfall events, heatwaves and droughts – pose major challenges for urban areas in particular, and require new urban adaptation measures. There is an urgent need for innovative greening concepts on the one hand, and integrated rainwater management on the other hand.
Instead of draining rainwater through sewer systems, the valuable resource of water needs to be stored on site with the help of blue-green infrastructures, and fed back into the urban water cycle. Together with urban planners and landscaping experts, ACO develops and realises practical solutions for your sponge city. Be inspired by our innovative concepts.
