“…Global climate change, as well as the process of progressive and dynamic urbanization, excessive compacting of buildings in cities, implemented in accordance with the idea of a compact city [Breheny 1995;Gordon & Richardson 1997; Compact cities.. 2000; European Commission 2007; Conticelli 2019], can cause a real threat to environment in the form of disturbances in water circulation in the city environment [Eckert & Huynh 2016]. As a result of the increased built-up and tightly paved areas, as well as the development of underground buildings, water does not soak into the ground and does not evaporate sufficiently to the atmosphere to regulate the natural climate processes.…”

Proper management of rainwater in cities has a significant impact on improving the environmental conditions: the microclimate of a city by regulating the water cycle and reducing heat islands; developing of biodiversity; increasing health and well-being of residents. The aim of the article was to present the possibilities of improving the environmental conditions in compact urban development areas-those that additionally contribute to the shaping of architecture, and thus combine the ecological, functional, and aesthetic benefits. The article draws attention to the synergy of climate change and the new way of developing urban areas, which was presented on the example of specific solutions functioning on the transformed urban area: Clichy-Batignolles in central Paris-recognized as a model for environmental solutions, labelled Éco-Quartier. The mentioned conditions and solutions were related to the possibility of shaping urban form, with the obligation to discharge some or all of the rainwater on the building plot. On the basis of the calculations made for the runoff ratio in individual quarters, it was found that it is possible to maintain a compact urban structure and effectively manage rain water provided that appropriate engineering and urban solutions are applied. These solutions can have an architectural value. The conclusions from the analyses can be used to formulate guidelines for other European cities, which are increasingly faced with the problem of water scarcity and uncontrolled flooding.
