Stormwater protection plan

"Skyburd" cloudburst. To avoid flooding the planners relied on a differentiated strategy of evaporation, runoff reduction, runoff delay. A network of roadside gutters and ditches runs through the new settlement as an unmistakable design feature.

Copenhagen commissioned Ramboll Studio Dreiseitl to develop a flood protection master plan for eight stormwater catchment areas - together 35 square kilometres. The concept combines the necessary strategic flood protection measures with sustainable urban development that also includes ecological and social aspects. For example, cloudburst boulevards can absorb and drain water in flood situations, while at the same time bringing green structures with high amenity value into the city. Together with other "cloudburst solutions", such as parks and squares, a decentralised and multifunctional system is created that can be implemented step by step.
