The municipalities are suggested to use<br />

unused urban spaces to develop urban<br />

green infrastructure. Green spaces serving<br />

to the environment and ecosystem will<br />

be created, which will serve to reduce<br />

infrastructural costs in the sewerage<br />

network. These environments should serve<br />

to protect the territory from flooding as well<br />

as to improve the conditions <strong>of</strong> dealing with<br />

climate change.<br />

Suburban gardens, residential areas and<br />

parking lots should be made available to the<br />

development <strong>of</strong> this infrastructure, creating<br />

the necessary network to bring the natural<br />

ecosystem within urban centres.<br />
