Perceiving the increased necessity of adapting to a changing climate, the city has devised a series of construction projects that are to provide the twofold benefits of ensuring adequate management of heavy rainfalls and improving the urban environ-ment.These measures will enhance the quality of urban living as a whole and - as a side effect - are expected to increase property values.
