Die Stadt als Schwamm (The city as a sponge)

I created an illustrative infographic that shows the current state and a possible state of our cities: how are we dealing with rainwater in the city today and what are better possibilities for the future? Due to climate change, cities are exposed to climatic extremes: they are heating up more and and are also exposed to heavy rainfall. Rainwater can help to cool cities down, a good management of rainwater can also help to prevent flooding. Moreover – a city should be green so that it is worth living in.
