SYSTEM CONCEPT

Disconnection from the city’s stormwater network and integrated management using numerous techniques: swales, porous parking areas, green roofs, floodplains, rain trees, reservoir structure pavement, use of stormwater in toilets.
Site renaturation at various levels: combating an invasive exotic species, creating hedgerows and pollinator-friendly plantings, and implementing differentiated management of green spaces.
