Bydgoszcz focuses on Green-Blue infrastructure. One of the goals of the City Water Circles project implemented by Bydgoszcz in cooperation with a number of European cities was to prepare a concept for implementing Green-Blue Infrastructure at selected public buildings: schools and municipal office buildings.
In selected locations, the project will finance the construction of rain gardens, retention and impervious paved surfaces will be replaced with environmentally friendly solutions.
