1. “ECO POINT” waste sorting system: Residents receive financial compensation for waste sorting, and lower the amount of waste that ends up in an unregulated landfill.

2. Green balconies: The specially-selected plants on balconies are creating a green sound barrier, and are purifying the air. They are sensor-operated and specially-selected depending on the balcony orientation. 

3. Green roofs:

• Green roofs provide common space for residents. With grass and trees, they create a higly valuable piece of nature in the heart of the city. They provide thermal insulation and thus reduce heating costs by up to 20 percent. They also absorb sound, reduce noise and extend roof lifespan by protecting it from UV radiation. The greenery acts as an air filter and creates a better quality microclimate.
• Green roofs are one of the leading Nature Based Solutions when it comes to creating a strategy for city resilience.
• On the city level, the importance of green roofs increases even more, since they directly affect the main challenges that our cities are facing today. Namely:
  • If strategically planned and positioned, they directly impact the urban heat island, lowering temperatures up to 5-7 degrees. They also retain atmospheric water up to 70 percent, decreasing pressure on the drainage system, and thus directly lowering the frequent floods that occur after heavy rain. Despite the fact that they are designed for people, they can provide important ‘garden’ habitats in our towns and cities, and should also be planned and designed for biodiversity.
