With ‘Kempen breaks out’, 6 Kempen municipalities are realising a climate-adaptive redevelopment of several prominent locations in the village centres of the Kempen: the village square of Retie, Olmen (Balen), Morkhoven (Herentals), the center of Vosselaar, the church environment of Sint-Jozef Rijkevorsel and the surroundings of the town hall in Weelde (Ravels). Maximum softening, greening and decoupling, the construction of multifunctional wadis and infiltration fields and the conversion to water-permeable hardening maximise the rainwater infiltration capacity of the sites, increase the biodiversity value and reduce heat stress at these sites
