Cities are under pressure. Climate change, increasing urban densification and the loss of natural cycles are fundamentally altering the demands placed on public space.
What is needed are integrated solutions that do not view water, green spaces and design in isolation, but understand them as an interconnected system. For liveable cities emerge where climate resilience, quality of life and design standards work in harmony.
Stored water provides natural cooling and improves the microclimate in the city.
GDM.CASCADE stone is based on the tried-and-tested GODELMANN climate paving stone technology. The three-layer surface system combines infiltration, water storage and evaporation in a single paving stone.
Rainwater is not a burden, but a valuable resource. Through infiltration and retention, it is utilised where it falls.
Materials, surfaces and design shape the character of our cities. They create a sense of identity and invite people to linger.
Where water is available, greenery can thrive. Plants provide shade, promote biodiversity and make cities more liveable.
Liveable cities thrive where people come together.
Seating and communal spaces encourage interaction and a sense of community.
Aalen has transformed the previously sealed town hall square into a natural, climate-friendly area with green spaces and an open city stream. The GDM.KLIMASTEIN on the paths supports the natural infiltration and evaporation of rainwater and thus improves the urban climate.
In the Lower Franconian municipality of Niederwerrn, a new town centre has been created at the transition from the old town to the established residential area. The innovative GDM.KLIMASTEIN from GODELMANN proved to be the perfect paving stone for this pioneering project.
