The street renovation works, carried out last year, included the creation of these permeable areas, technically known as Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS). These systems aim to mimic the natural water cycle, promoting soil permeability and reducing the impact of rainfall.
In these areas, 23 trees of four different species have been planted: Camphor tree, Festuca, Black Acacia, and Pink Trumpet Tree. Subsequently, a shrub planting was carried out with 113 plants of species adapted to the Mediterranean climate, such as mountain chamomile, California lilac, lavender, and California fuchsia.
The planting was complemented by the participation of first-grade primary students from the Maristes Sant Pere Chanel School, who planted 150 pansies. Additionally, large stones have been placed to prevent vehicles from accessing these areas.
