GREEN CITY This document you hold in your hands is a guide designed to promote the integration of green areas in the city, in order to combat the effects of climate change and promote biodiversity. In addition to ecosystemic services, you will also find inside landscape proposals using Escofet planters and green enclosures, most of which are made of concrete, an ideal material for planting. These solutions contribute to creating more sustainable and pleasant environments for all. GREEN CITY

The design of cities and their public spaces shows concern for improving the environment with tools such as the restoration of the water cycle, the planting of open spaces to generate climatic comfort or the selection of native species to promote local fauna and flora. In many cases, the densification of cities, the lack of open spaces and the construction difficulties in planting lead designers to choose resources such as planters or green islands, where, on a small scale, they try to recover a nature forgotten by the vast grey surfaces of asphalt. Extending the green surface and protecting...

VALLADOLID PLAZA DEL MILENIO ANTOINE CHASSAGNOL MILENIO GREEN CITY PROMOTING GREENERY IN THE CITY

Living in a city that is alien to the benefits of nature and the countryside is a drawback that more and more people are questioning. Nowadays, the design of cities and their public spaces seeks to bring nature closer to city dwellers through plantings and green spaces, not only for aesthetic aspects but also for environmental and health reasons. The aim of using planters and green islands is to bring nature closer to society, to create small fragments of nature that reflect the potential of the native landscape in terms of heritage, the ecosystem and at a functional level.

ENRIC PERICAS PERE CABRERA Concrete is an ideal material for planters due to its high resistance to degradation in saline atmospheres, as well as in freeze-thaw cycles, ensuring that the passage of time is unnoticeable. It is also a material with high thermal inertia. In summer (in hot climates such as the Mediterranean), concrete attenuates and mitigates the transmission of heat to the interior, releasing this heat slowly at night. In this way, the soil inside the planters does not overheat during the day, maintaining the climactic comfort of the vegetation. Concrete-cast elements do not require...

INTERNATIONAL QUARTER LONDON NAHTRANG NIU GREEN CITY PROJECT CONSTRAINTS In order to achieve a successful urban landscape project, the conditions of the containers must be carefully considered. The size and space available for the planting substrate are determining factors when selecting suitable vegetation. The aim is to bring nature closer to society, creating small fragments of native landscape that highlight its heritage, ecosystemic and functional value. To achieve this, it is necessary to work on spatiality, to stimulate the senses with fragrances, colour, texture and sound and to design...

Diverse spaces can be generated with the vegetation layers or the variability of plant material over time can be worked with to create changing spaces.

GREEN CITY LANDSCAPE PROPOSALS This section presents various landscaping compositions with Escofet elements, each designed with specific criteria to achieve the desired results. Proposals that highlight accents of colour are featured, allowing for a vibrant palette and continuous flowering in all seasons of the year. Designs that create friendly visual barriers are also included, as well as solutions that favour the hanging and climbing growth of vegetation. Finally, compositions that offer comfort and well-being in the urban environment have been developed. GREEN CITY LANDSCAPE PROPOSALS
