Less Concrete, more green space – Warsaw Insider

This year, the Warsaw Greenery Board plans to replace 1,500 square meters of concrete with greenery across the city. Initial work has started in Praga-Północ, with similar projects slated for six districts, including Praga-Południe, Żoliborz, Mokotów, Ursynów, and Ochota.

Projects include tree planting, creating rain gardens, and adding shrubs at key intersections and public spaces. Last year, 31,000 square meters of concrete were removed, transforming areas like Bankowy Square and Koszykowa Street into green oases. More transformations are planned at Wilson Square and Zodiak Pavilion.
