A project that will allow Copenhagen to resist the consequences of climate changes and global warming. It is a Neighborhood which will allow the flow of millions of liters of water and which could save the city, starting from the area of San Kjeld.
In Copenhagen, storms are mainly feared and sea level rise. How to create basins that can collect rainwater? We are thinking of aiming for avenues and parks that will become real collection points for the water coming from excessive rainfall.
The idea is to allow millions of liters of water to flow into the sea, with the roads in the vicinity of the collection basins, which will become real drains. Copenhagen decided to get involved to protect itself, the buildings and the population after the storm that hit it in 2011.
The damage had been very serious and had weighed on the economy for at least $ 1 million. If the world does not seem to be in a hurry to intervene to try to slow down climate change, Copenhagen wanted to use creativity to protect itself.
How to cope with the flood risk? The project for the special climate-proof neighborhood was presented by the architectural firm Third Nature. Thus Copenhagen is preparing for the consequences of global warming, heavy rainfall and rising sea levels.
in special district of San Kjeld finally it begins to say goodbye to asphalt. So then in the squares we find grassy carpets and pedestrian paths, instead of the usual concrete and the classic sidewalks. There is no shortage of special pipes to collect rainwater from the roofs and convey it in the correct direction.
Rainwater management should mainly concern the autumn and winter months, but how to deal with summer temperatures, which could rise due to global warming? The designers thought of inserting a special device in the center of the main square to vaporize refreshing water droplets in the air.
