THE VISION
NATURE BASED + CLIMATE POSITIVE
The vision for De-Pave Park is to transform the paved tarmac into a thriving ecological park that adapts to future sea level rise by accepting rising tides to create restored wetlands. De-
Pave Park will be a new model for resilient landscapes, offsetting its carbon footprint in 4 years to become Climate Positive and mitigating the carbon footprint of its original construction in less than 25 years, as opposed to the additional 220 years the current site would require to become Climate Positive.
