Turin

Site: Largest metropolitan area (by extension) in Italy, with ~2.3 million inhabitants.

Situation: Turin has already hosted research and development initiatives on nature-based solutions greywater treatment to provide unconventional and sustainable water resources. NICE vegetable rooftops will be validated for residential greywater treatment in a humid subtropical climate.

Solution: The pilot is a vegetable rooftop to treat 2 m3/d of greywater.

The NICE Urban Real Labs are ideal test beds for nature-based solutions for circular urban water solutions, as they have varied geographical, environmental and socioeconomic characteristics.

The Urban Real Labs cover a wide range of climate zones: tropical and subtropical (Pereira and Turin), Mediterranean (Talavera, Algeciras, Benalmádena, Lyon, Cairo), transition climate with extreme temperatures (Madrid), oceanic (Vigo, Aarhus), and Baltic (Gdansk).
