Martin Vysoky shared through our website the example of rain gardens.

What can rain gardens do?

These plant beds can retain and clean rainwater. They create a greener, more attractive urban environment, but that's not all they do!

They also lower the risk of flooding and damage from drought while they increase street safety by slowing down traffic. ​

What do you think? ​

Do you have other ideas on how we can better equip our cities to meet the challenges of the future?
