Lodz, Poland. River Restoration as a Catalyst for Sustainable Urban Development

Lodz continues to feel the environmental, economic and social impacts of industrialisation and subsequent manufacturing decline. It is focusing its urban regeneration efforts in part on river restoration, which has involved building reservoirs, inventing a stormwaterbiofiltration system and developing a wider plan for the river valley.
