Explore the Merwe-Vierhaven district, where the city meets the river. Landscape designer Lorenzo Bertolotto will walk you along innovative projects dealing with water: the Keilehaven tidal park (currently under construction), the Sponge garden and the Dakpark.

Keilehaven will become a new tidal park in Rotterdam, merging the re-naturalization of a post-industrial harbour with the poetry of the tides. The Sponge garden is the first experiment to test, observe, and quantify the potential “sponginess” of nature-based solutions for urban water management. The Dakpark is the biggest green roof in Europe, where Lorenzo has been conducting a pilot project with grazing sheep to improve water retention and urban biodiversity.
