Nature-based solutions and sponge city design

CITYFÖRSTER offers expertise in nature-based solutions and sponge city design for cities and communities facing climate risks such as flooding, heat stress, water scarcity and loss of biodiversity.

We help integrate water management, landscape, public space, mobility and urban development into coherent spatial strategies. Our approach uses green-blue infrastructure, retention landscapes, shaded public spaces, biodiversity, permeable surfaces and climate-adaptive streets to make urban environments more resilient and liveable.

This expertise is relevant for reconstruction contexts where streets, parks, neighbourhoods and infrastructure need to be rebuilt in a way that improves long-term environmental performance and quality of life.
