Green bus shelters in Amsterdam

When you cycle through Amsterdam, you come across plenty of green roofs and green façades. But green tram stops? That’s a novelty. Tram shelters are increasingly being clad in greenery. Some of them across the city have a green roof and a green wall. These bus stops have their own irrigation system that uses rainwater. Underground there is a pump room where rainwater is collected. This rainwater is used to water the plants completely automatically. Green roofs on bus stops in Amsterdam are demonstrating how functional design can be combined with nature based solutions to improve biodiversity.
