Building with Nature design<\/div>\n\n
\n \"\" <\/div>\n \n
\n

Green bank systems partly restore the lost tidal ecosystem that once was so abundant and unique for the area. The Building with Nature interventions do not only provide educational and ecological value, but also add value in the sense of a more attractive and healthier living environment within the borders of a city.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n
Traditional design<\/div>\n
\n \"\" <\/div>\n
\n

Traditional bank systems are strengthened with hard material (mostly rock) prohibiting vegetation growth. Vegetation is often regarded as a stability risk and may also be aesthetically undesired. Urban parks along river banks are separated from the river by obstacles of hard material to meet safety criteria for citizens.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
