Large shopping centres in Poznań as a source of rainwater recovery and irrigation of urban green areas

Abstract

Large-scale facilities in the city cause the loss of significant amounts of rainwater,greenery and biologically active areas. Remedying this situation requires the implementationof a number of spatial planning demands. Increasing the attractiveness and spatial value ofurbanised areas state fundamental importance for meeting the needs of local communitiesin the era of predicted climate change. The study shows that appropriate management ofwater recovered from the roofs of large-scale buildings can be used to supply significantareas of urban greenery.
