Greening of paved areas in Ostrava-Poruba
City of Ostrava ·Czechia
About this project
<p>Main project activity: implementation of ecological adaptation and mitigation measures, which consist in the greening of selected paved areas. These are 14 locations with non-functional and unused areas (unused asphalt playgrounds) with a total area of 4,599 m2 in both cadastral territories of the Poruba district (Poruba, Poruba - north) and their replacement by residential greenery. The selected areas no longer fulfill the functions that were built in the past and actually now act as heat islands in the urban district. Greening will be provided by grass, complemented also by beds of perennials, shrubs and trees in appropriate places. Probes were carried out for the affected areas with the aim of determining the thickness of the individual layers and thus optimally establishing the demands for future resources necessary for their removal. The removal of paved surfaces must be carried out in the entire height of the profile, otherwise it would not be guaranteed that the planted or sown greenery could thrive as expected.</p>
