The Commission has contributed to the advancement of the project.
In an exciting development for the city of Nuremberg, plans are underway for a new sustainable park in the Nuremberg-Wetzendorf area. This flagship project for modern urban planning will showcase eco-friendly features and innovative water management techniques.
At the heart of the park's design are tree wells, specially designed planting areas that serve multiple purposes. These areas help collect and retain rainwater around trees, promoting water infiltration into the soil and reducing runoff. Tree wells also act as underground rainwater reservoirs, containing a special substrate to absorb and retain water.
The park will also incorporate the sponge city principle, a concept that uses permeable surfaces, rainwater retention systems, and vegetation to manage stormwater naturally. This approach will help mitigate flooding, improve groundwater recharge, and enhance urban climate resilience.
The park's focus extends beyond environmental benefits, with a commitment to providing recreational spaces and promoting biodiversity. Local planners and environmental experts are currently finalising the exact timeline and detailed plans for the project.
To gather input from Nuremberg residents for the park's design, an information evening about the Nuremberg-Wetzendorf park project is scheduled for today at 5:30 PM at the Construction Industry Center in Parlerstraße. All Nuremberg citizens are invited to attend and share their ideas for this exciting new green space.
The event will provide updates on the current planning status of the park, offering attendees a unique opportunity to learn more about the project and contribute to its development. The Nuremberg Public Space Services is overseeing the project, ensuring that it aligns with the city's sustainability objectives and provides a valuable addition to Nuremberg's urban landscape.
This event marks an important step in the creation of a sustainable, resilient, and enjoyable park for the city of Nuremberg. We encourage all residents to attend and contribute to this exciting project.
- As part of the Nuremberg-Wetzendorf park project, the focus will extend beyond environmental benefits, also providing recreational spaces and promoting biodiversity, adhering to the city's commitment to sustainable living.
- The park's design will include tree wells, which serve as specially designed planting areas in environmental-science, helping in water infiltration and reducing runoff, and acting as underground rainwater reservoirs in home-and-garden.
- The park will implement the sponge city principle, a concept from climate-change and sustainable-living, using permeable surfaces, rainwater retention systems, and vegetation to manage stormwater naturally, thereby improving urban climate resilience and mitigating flooding.
