Self-sustainable, Smart Module for City Green Infrastructure, developed under the MOD4GRIN project, was presented 7.06.2022 by Prof. Marta Pogrzeba – IETU Director as part of the Panel Climate change and water management in a regenerative city at 2nd International Congress – Climatic Regeneration of Cities.
The discussion panel concerned the following topics:
- cities resilient to climate change,
- water self-sufficiency in cities,
- increasing the efficiency of water management,
- rainwater management solutions.
During the speech, Dr. M. Pogrzeba also presented other solutions, including “nature based solutions” in the field of sustainable water management, increasing the possibilities of rainwater retention in cities.

Mod4GrIn project was presented at the Dresden Nexus Conference 2022: Biodiversity - Stewardship for Vital Resources (23-25 May 2022). Prof. Marta Pogrzeba presented the main assumptions and goals of the Mod4GrIn project, especially its innovative approach to shaping green infrastructure in the city through the use of intelligent self-sufficient modules.

The aim of WP 1 is the selection of plant species - Polish and Norwegian flora - suitable for growing in the green module system (roof, walls, adjacent surroundings).

At the Norwegian Institute of Bioeconomy Research, we have started an experiment to find optimal design of the constructed soil for use in the MOD4GRIN prototype.
