Love this! It’s clearly talking about the same problem a world away from Ireland but it highlights that storm water run off and its effects are a local issue around the world #spongeCities

Le città spugna per assorbire gli effetti della crisi climatica Copenaghen ha messo in campo un riassetto urbano per far fronte agli allagamenti

Entro il 2050 raddoppierà la frequenza di alluvioni "secolari".

“Some of the strategies employed to create these so-called #spongecities include green roofs, rainwater storage and infiltration systems, sunken green spaces, permeable pavement, bioretention ponds, wetland revitalization, restoring natural waterflow pathways, and more.” @older.bsky.social

Return the #wet as well as the #wildness. Long #rain-gardens replacing parking spaces on every street. Balancing ponds and mini #wetlands instead of car parks. Urban rivers #daylighted & #rewiggled & allowed to develop their own flood plains in parks. #SpongeCities.

Auckland environmentalist wins battle to protect urban style jungle Mark van Kaathoven has worked on the berm gardens outside his home and neighbouring properties for more than three decades.

Love this. Why can't #berms be gardens and meadows, with wonderful insect communities and birdlife instead of sterile, mowed within an inch of their life, grass. 👏
