Redesigning the banks of the Rhine river in Bonn
More and more cities are using their rivers to reduce urban heat island effects, improve quality of life for their residents and preserve biodiversity. For example, a project is under way to redesign the embankments of the Rhine river in Bonn (Germany), where Eurovia (VINCI Construction) is transforming a 1.5 km segment from Moses-Hess-Ufer to Brassertufer. The works will increase the resilience of this public space to heat and drought, while also creating a promenade area covering about 20,000 sq. metres.
