Duisburg, Ruhr Area, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany - Sponge City. Climate resilient city. Modern residential buildings on the Speichergracht at the Duisburg inner harbor. The artificial watercourse serves to drain precipitation water from roofs and properties into the basin of the inner harbor and is thus also part of the overall ecological concept of the inner harbor. Water loss through evaporation is compensated for by a groundwater pump, which in turn is powered by solar electricity.
