Criteria used to assess innovations: Societal/Community growth
Copenhagen has been reclaiming unused parking lots and converted them into parks. Not the typical green spaces, but intelligent water collection systems. Water from heavy rainfall and rising seawater levels is stored in underground tanks and can turn the park into a pond, upside down umbrellas collect water and function as irrigation system, bouncy floors can be activated by kids jumping and collect energy to fuel the system. This model is part of “climate-resilient neighborhoods” and in times of COVID-19 an opportunity to examine the innovative expansion of green spaces in urban environments.
