    A Rain Garden for Veszprém – BiodiverCity’s Latest Test Action Completed

    Co-created with the Local Group

    The test action was carried out with the active involvement of the URBACT Local Group (ULG). Members contributed through joint planning, site visits and hands-on support. The activity will conclude with a community planting event, giving residents the opportunity to help establish the rain garden’s vegetation themselves. This not only enhances long-term sustainability but also deepens local engagement.

    Visibility and Local Interest 

    The initiative has attracted considerable attention in the city. A film crew from Veszprém TV visited the site and produced a report on the creation and purpose of the rain garden. This media coverage helps raise awareness of how BiodiverCity promotes nature-based solutions and strengthens urban resilience in practice.
