The Urban Pergola: nature based street furniture

Activity: Talk or presentationOral presentationProfessional

Description

This Urban Trail will bring you to a semi-public space with 3 new urban pergola’s. Alternative interventions for where trees cannot grow, such as pergolas, provide benefits similar to trees—shade, aesthetic improvement, and support for climbing plants—can become a promising measure for creating (temporary) urban resilience. Urban pergolas as nature-based street furniture, contribute to the greening of urban spaces, promoting social interaction and offering solutions for a healthy living environment. After the Urban Trail we will held a small workshop to explore the potential and pitfalls of such constructions and learn from each other (inter)national experiences.
