Structural Soil Soil Cells

Our vision remains powerfully simple: a world where sustainable green space is within the reach of every person, every day – and natural resources are utilized (not wasted) for the benefit of mankind and measurable environmental impacts.

From this dedication to research and development, and hands-on experience in the field, comes a firm belief that there are ways of successfully harnessing, filtering, and storing our scarce water resources close to the source, providing means to make our cities greener and more liveable.

Informed by this belief and our natural inclination for problem solving, Citygreen offers engineered systems to increase urban forest canopy and capture and treat stormwater successfully.

These solutions are best-practice in their field, endorsed by professionals from both local government and private sectors - putting Citygreen at the cutting edge of sustainable green and blue infrastructure solutions for cities, globally.
