Description (French)
Le projet mettra en œuvre ou améliorera des infrastructures naturelles réparties dans toute la ville, y compris des tranchées d'arbres, des zones humides, la réfection de cours d'eau pour gérer les eaux de pluie, et des infrastructures hybrides tels que les rigoles de drainage biologique et la couverture végétale perméable. Une fois terminé, ce projet améliorera la qualité de l'eau, assurera l'adaptation au climat et augmentera la résilience aux inondations, la protection des espèces et la biodiversité. De plus, il améliorera l'habitabilité des résidents en réduisant les effets d'îlot de chaleur urbain, en améliorant la qualité de l'air et en créant un meilleur accès à la nature.
