Climate-active Seringenstraat


The Seringenstraat in the Assendorp district in the city of Zwolle is just a regular street. At least that is how it seems. Yet it has been transitioning for a while, from an “ordinary” street to a climate-proof street. Assisted by government bodies and a project developer, but especially through the efforts of individual residents, this street shows how a residential district can tackle the impact of climate change.

Afbeelding

Assendorp is a highly paved district. Pavement is conducive to waterlogging and heat stress. With a climate grant from the Drents Overijsselse Delta (WDODelta) district water board, municipal support funds, and assistance from the municipality of Zwolle, residents and the project developer are now working on climate-proofing the street.

Boxes, crates, and façade gardens

The construction of green-roofed garages will follow the earlier soil sanitation of a polluted lot located behind the street. The clean soil will be fitted with 75 infiltration crates to collect excess rainwater. Rather than going straight into the sewer, no less than 32,000 litres of water will end up in the soil, thus helping to counteract dehydration during warm periods.

The pavements will be adorned with façade gardens and residential gardens will increasingly be depaved. The aggregate measures will help to create a more pleasant living environment.

More information on the partners that have contributed to this project is available on the website created by the residents. This also features articles, photos, and video films on the project.
