Blue-Green Cities
Integrating urban flood risk management with green infrastructure
«
Blue-Green Cities is about the management of water and the opportunities to create and support nature with blue and green spaces in urban areas. The book is wide-ranging and includes technical aspects of flood and water management as well as the essential social and economic perspectives. Blue-Green Cities provides a clear view of where thinking and practice has got to, using numerous UK examples, but also showing how other countries have implemented the ideas that using blue or green infrastructure can be as hydraulically effective as traditional pipes, concrete and channelised system.

Blue-Green Cities is one of the very few books to examine in detail the performance of blue green infrastructure in cities from various angles based on international case studies. It provides guidance to flood risk management professionals and inspires researchers working in this field to move beyond their domain. Definitely highly recommended.
