Bydgoszcz

Bydgoszcz is a city in northern Poland, located along the Brda and Vistula rivers and known for its waterways, green spaces and industrial heritage. The city has a temperate continental climate, with warm summers, cold winters and increasing exposure to heavy rainfall, heatwaves and flooding risks linked to its river system.

As a regional economic and transport centre, Bydgoszcz faces the challenge of modernising infrastructure and reducing emissions while maintaining sustainable urban growth. Water plays a central role in the city’s identity and climate strategy, shaping both adaptation measures and urban planning priorities.

The municipality is working to improve energy efficiency, expand sustainable mobility and strengthen environmental resilience. Investments in public transport, greener public spaces and water management infrastructure are helping the city respond to climate impacts while improving liveability and air quality. Efforts to protect biodiversity and integrate nature-based solutions are also becoming increasingly important.

Bydgoszcz’s approach combines urban regeneration with climate action, using its rivers and green networks as assets for resilience and quality of life. Through cooperation with local institutions, businesses and residents, the city is building a pathway towards a more climate-neutral and adaptable future.
