healthy neighborhoods we create
together!
build, play,
grow, walk
on water
By jointly choosing to install water-storing green roofs, portable planters, vegetable gardens or façade gardens, you can make a big difference. Join us and discover how you can become an ambassador and set up a Rainup neighborhood initiative. Not only will your initiative create a greener and healthier living environment, but building together with neighbors on rainwater for optimal greenery creates togetherness and strengthens the neighborhood as a whole!

Over 2500 liters of rainwater storage capacity
September 9, in Alphen aan den Rijn, we and our neighbors fitted 16 barns with a water-storing green roof in one day. Together they collect over 2500 liters of rainwater when it falls and cool the neighborhood through natural evaporation. The appearance of the neighborhood from the homes of the residents is an oasis of green and thus a place for biodiversity. This makes positive use of several major challenges in cities: more biodiversity, giving water a place when it falls and cooling the roofs.

1000 liters of rainwater storage capacity
In the Kerk en Zanen neighborhood we started with the installation of 1 water-storing green roof on the barn. After installing it, other neighbors were also immediately enthusiastic and decided to find out whether there would be a joint interest in greening more sheds in the street. Last September 16, several barns and outbuildings were installed with our water-storing green roof (27 l/m²).

Smart handling of rainwater
"This is more than just an aesthetic change; it is a community effort to make the neighborhood healthier and more livable. We hope this project will inspire other neighborhoods to pursue their own green initiatives!"
