Urban Drainage

A sustainable urban drainage story celebrates the passage of rainwater from the roofs of the buildings to the waterfront, visible through a series of collection dishes, channels and rills, and irrigating the planting along the way. Reed beds along the park edge filter rainwater and surface water before it enters the promenade. The reed beds have also created valuable habitat opportunities and provide an attractive waterside setting. Other habitat opportunities include an extensive green wall, fronting onto the central public square.
