The City of Antwerp supports experiments with climate-robust roofs. Together with property owners, companies and experts, the city wants to transform four pilot roofs into innovative, climate-robust roofs with room for biodiversity. A climate- robust roof involves rainwater management, heat control and biodiversity. For these pilot projects the city is looking for combinations of climate-robust measures with other roof functions such as recreation, energy generation or food production.

The 5 main objectives are:

- Making Antwerp's neighborhoods pleasant to live in;

- Using the roofs in a multifunctional way and considering climate adaptation objectives;

- Increasing the capacities of infiltration, buffering and recuperation of water in order to improve water robustness;

- Increasing people’s resilience in order to cope with climate adaptation stresses;

- Stimulating co-creation of various stakeholders.
