Implementation scale: Neighborhood, park, object
Impact scale: Neigborhood, City, National (Duplication of Libellule zona trhoughout the country)
Urban density: Low (suburb at the limit with rural areas, etc.)
Slideshow:
The goal of the project is to develop and industrialise planted discharge areas at the
exit of treatment plants to convert them into a genuine artificial wetland guaranteeing the treatment of micropollutants and ecological diversity.
Other environmetal friendly solutions: Phytoremediation
An effective solution: 317 molecules sought, 81% of the quantified molecules were
eliminated at → 30% of which more than half → 70%.
- Developing climate change adaptation; improving risk management and resilience
- Increase infiltration / Water storage
- Reducing temperature at meso or micro scale
- Restoring ecosystems and their functions
- Improve connectivity and functionality of green and blue infrastructures
- Increase achievements of biodiversity targets

Further information
Nature4Cities (https://www.nature4cities.eu/) aims to develop a knowledge diffusion around Nature-Based Solution (NbS) and a decision support platform through new collaborative models.
This project is part of the Nature4Cities's pioneer case studies database, it will feed the observatory, NbS pre-selection and replication tools, gathered into the Geocluster4NBS.
This project was chosen as a pioneer case study for the following reasons: the project is a complementary treatment of micro
pollutants and by creating biodiversity linked to the influx of water.
Nature4Cities project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No 730468.
