The incorporation of planting borders creates a vibrant green experience, setting de Laat apart with its unique identity among other streets in the city center. Additionally, the sunken planting borders play a significant role in mitigating flooding during heavy rainfall. The generous planting areas with trees and blooming perennials alternate with open spaces, creating areas for social interactions and relaxation. Positioned on the north side of the street, the numerous terraces and seating areas are located in the sunniest spots. At the same time, the addition of more than 60 newly planted trees provides shaded spots and cooling. The two entrances of de Laat are accentuated with eye-catching water elements, enticing playful interaction.
