Description
The project involves the implementation of green-blue infrastructure measures related to increasing the area of green spaces, intensifying rainwater management activities in the city and cleaning them up, eliminating the urban "heat island" and improving the microclimate inside the city. The problem to be solved by the Project.
The following actions have been taken in response to the characterized adaptation and mitigation. Their implementation will improve stormwater retention in the city. Green corridors will become integrated spaces for the provision of so-called ecosystem services. The following actions have been planned within the framework of the project: mitigation and adaptation methods have been selected, as well as methods whose adoption in the urban space will bring the greatest benefits to the city.
Results of Project implementation: increase of green areas 93,581 m2 and biologically active areas, support of ventilation processes in the city, reduction of the effect of urban heat islands, elimination of soil sealing and backfilling, capturing and managing rainwater, raising local community awareness.
The main objective of the project is to increase the city''s resilience to negative phenomena resulting from changes climate change and adaptation to it, raising public awareness of climate change, reducing emissions greenhouse gases through the implementation of green and blue infrastructure investments.
