Gliwice
The project to implement nature-based solutions (NBS) on the site of the revitalised buildings of the former Gliwice mine involved the conversion of hard surfaces, the creation of green walls using climbing plants, rain gardens and new plantings.
They are designed to intercept part of the rainwater flowing from the parking lot before it goes to the rainwater sewage system. They were located in places where there are no underground networks and near rainwater drainage inlets due to the ease of making emergency overflows.
We have designed climbing plants for the façade to promote biodiversity and reduce the urban heat island effect.
We have used native plant species that coexist with the local fauna and require less water and maintenance.
We are removing concrete to create new green spaces that are valuable to the ecosystem.

What results have we obtained?
We have improved soil quality by increasing aeration and enriching the soil with beneficial organisms.
We have introduced 12 new species of trees and shrubs, and 13 species of climbing plants, perennials and grasses.
We have reduced the temperature by replacing hard surfaces with green spaces featuring trees and providing shade.
Our solutions increase rainwater retention by 25.8% compared with the current situation
