1. General information
2. Objectives of the intervention
Goals of the intervention
1. To improve air and water quality;
2. To ensure maximum parking space;
3. To minimize the volume of water drained and reduce the leaking of water from precipitation;
4. To achieve a green area space;
5. To reduce the human heat islands;
6. To avoid environmental pollution due to vehicle emissions;
7. To reduce the exposure to UV radiation, due to the canopy of trees (3).

Quantitative targets
1. To serve as spaces for 150.000 cars (2), 2. Create 300 ecological parking spaces (1), 3. Plant 2000 linear hedge meters and 780 trees and shrubs (2), 4. Reduce the asphalted surface by 40 % , even if they would increase the parking space by 20 percent (3)
Monitoring indicators defined
1. Amount of cars in the city (2), 2. Amount of trees and shrubs (2), 3. Amount of parking spaces needed (1), 4. Amount of green spaces and asphalted surfaces in the city (3)
Sustainability challenge(s) addressed
Climate change adaptation: What were the goals of the NBS?
Climate change adaptation: What activities are implemented to realize the conservation goals and targets?
Implementation activities
Types of materials used to build environmentally friendly parking spaces:
Permeable pavement - is pavement that allows water infiltration. It is available in a variety of shapes and colors, improving their aesthetic appearance.
Grid or lattice systems - rigid plastic structures are filled with gravel or vegetation.
Porous concrete - is similar to conventional concrete structure and shape, except that the fine materials have been removed, allowing the infiltration of rain water through the voids. (2)

5. Innovation
Type of innovation
Please specify technological innovation
Lawn pavement is an absolute novelty in asphalt replacement in yards, gardens, car parks. The very high resistance of the grass to repeated jerks and heavy weights of cars, trucks, tractors, etc. The areas that use this lawn are closer to nature, reducing almost total pollution (3)
