Gent (Gand) [Ghent], VOV responds to lack of natural river banks with green island pilot

Gent (Gand) [Ghent], VOV Green Island Natural Bank Pilot

Three green islands were installed along the man-made Watersportbaan with the help of local sporting clubs. Each island is approximately two square meters and contains native plants that attract wildlife. Navicula and Urban Deltas designed island types with different anchoring techniques for the project. Local officials will evaluate aesthetics, maintenance, and other factors throughout the one-year pilot as it considers additional islands.
