How restoring water resources brings life back to Moldova’s villages
Water Solutions
Agriculture remains the foundation of Moldova’s economy, yet today the country’s farmers face a critical challenge — the rapid shrinking and depletion of water resources. In the long term, this shortage poses serious threats not only to economic well-being but also to citizens’ health and the integrity of natural ecosystems. To prevent a future water […]

The Morava River takes on a new shape in southern Olomouc
The Morava River in Olomouc has taken on a new shape. On the stretch from its confluence with the Mlýnský stream to the railway bridge, the riverbed was revitalised, making it part of a reliable flood protection system. The terraced banks now allow water to spill safely during downpours without threatening the city. In normal […]

Bread that protects groundwater: how local solutions help adapt to climate change
Climate change in Ukraine is no longer a theoretical discussion. We are seeing warmer winters with little snow, prolonged summer droughts, uneven precipitation and more frequent extreme weather events. All of this directly affects water resources — both surface and underground. The question of conserving water is gradually moving from the realm of environmental initiatives […]

Basel’s green roofs: how Switzerland both mitigates and adapts to climate change
Green Spaces and Landscaping
The history of introducing green roofs in Basel is an example of how consistent public policy turns an environmental initiative into a standard of urban construction. The popularity of this approach in Switzerland began to grow back in the 1970s, and pilot projects of the following decade laid the necessary practical foundation. The decisive push […]

The village that learned to negotiate with nature
In the past, the village of Dubenec often suffered from sudden floods. The local council decided to solve this problem by taking comprehensive land-improvement measures. Large plots of land were divided by infiltration strips and biocorridors. Polders and ponds were built. These changes to the terrain effectively direct rainwater, ensuring it is retained in the […]

The Ober-Grafendorf eco-street
The construction of new streets in the Austrian town of Ober-Grafendorf is reaching a new level. The local “eco-street” has become a model of the infrastructure of the future: in summer it cools the air, protects the neighbourhood from flooding and stores rainwater for watering plants. This is not just a road but an intelligent […]

The Zdeněk Kopal Park in Litomyšl
Long-term planning for a new home for the elderly in Litomyšl required reliable protection of the site from floods. After several studies and consideration of various options, the designers settled on a system of drainage channels built into the slope rather than a traditional large reservoir. This solution addressed two tasks at once: it protected […]

A micromobility hub in Lviv: how green solutions changed urban space
Climate Change Adaptation Measure Implemented by a Municipality
Imagine a triangle of asphalt and concrete between two tram stops – grey, stifling, filled with kiosks. Thousands of students of Lviv Polytechnic, Lviv residents and city guests cross this place every day, waiting for transport under the scorching sun or in the rain. No shade, no comfort – just a functional piece of pavement […]
