Adapting to climate change is a major challenge for cities around the world. Urban wetlands are an element of the “sponge city” strategy to retain the rainwater and make it usable. The project deals with the implementation of urban wetlands in the city of Prague. For this purpose, suitable areas will be sought, functional principles developed and specific spaces will be designed.
