Heimdalsgade in Copenhagen, Denmark will soon be the first street in the world to pioneer a new rainwater managing sidewalk system. The Climate Tile, designed by Tredje Natur for future sidewalks and urban spaces, aims to handle the effects of climatic change.Copenhagen’s over 700 kilometers of sidewalks will now become an active part of the climate adaptation program that collects and handles the increasing amount of rainwater, thereby easing problems of flooding in the city. Designed by the architectural studio Third Nature (Tredje Natur), in collaboration with the Danish companies IBF and ACO, The Climate Tile is an innovative climate adaptation solution targeted for dense cities. It utilizes climate challenges in a positive way to create more sustainable cities.The new test sidewalk will be located at Heimdalsgade number 22-24 at Nørrebro in Copenhagen. The location for the test sidewalk was made in close collaboration with the Copenhagen Municipality. Construction is set to start in late 2017 and will finish in 2018. The new sidewalk will test The Climate Tile in terms of its function, design, and performance.The Climate Tile is a combination of climate adaption and solutions for urban spaces and addresses utility companies, municipalities, building developers, housing associations, and road confederations, noted World Architecture News.
