Duisburg, Ruhr area, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, sponge city. Climate-resilient city. Modern residential buildings on the Speichergracht canal in Duisburg's inner harbour. The artificial body of water serves to drain rainwater from roofs and properties into the inner harbour basin and is therefore also part of the overall ecological concept of the inner harbour. Water loss through evaporation is compensated for by a groundwater pump, which in turn is powered by solar energy, Europe
