Das Projekt

The ULB, winner of the Climate call for projects in 2024, has reallocated part of the P3 (Janson) car park on the Solbosch campus to create a new, user-friendly, demineralised space covering 1,180 m², of which 400 m² has been transformed into green, permeable surfaces. This reallocation has increased the permeable surface area of the developed zone by 30%, enabling the local infiltration of 300 m³ of water and improving biodiversity in the area, thereby furthering the aim of connecting the campus’s green spaces to strengthen ecological corridors.

This project was made possible thanks to a grant from the City of Brussels for projects related to water and biodiversity. To stay informed about the City’s water policy, visit their website. Green and convivial spaces were conceptualised through participatory workshops with students.

Wie werden die Kriterien des Ziels erfüllt?

Naturbasierte Lösungen

  • Nutzung der Natur/natürlicher Prozesse, die die biologische Vielfalt unterstützen, um die Herausforderungen im Zusammenhang mit dem Klimawandel, der Wasserwirtschaft (einschließlich Hochwassermanagement) und der Bodendegradation zu bewältigen;
  • Have respect for and/or improve the specific environmental and ecological characteristics of the area (e.g. the topography, the type of landscape, the local plant and animal life, …);
  • Einbindung dieser natürlichen Prozesse in die Umgebung und die Umwelt;
  • Stärkung des ökologischen Verbunds zwischen naturbasierten Lösungen und den umliegenden Naturgebieten.

Mögliche Initiativen, an denen das Projekt beteiligt ist:

Plan Climat, municipal water plan

Langfristige Wartung

Still maintained by the campus as it is a communal space.

Vorteile

In recent years, Brussels has been increasingly confronted with episodes of heavy rainfall. The resulting floods serve as a reminder that our current, highly mineralised infrastructure is unable to absorb and effectively manage these volumes of water. In a highly mineralised city, every drop that does not seep into the ground must be drained away through the sewers, which quickly leads to overflows, as in Laeken or the North district. See the website of the City of Brussels for more information.
