Projects
- A proactive city without biocides (Interreg-Project 2023-2027)
The ReactiveCity project aims at developing a strategy supported by various stakeholders to reduce harmful biocide emissions for a "permeable" city. The aim is to relieve the burden on rainwater collection and treatment plant infrastructures and meet the increasing demand for water to green urban areas.
