Description
Blue-Green Cities: Integrating urban flood risk management with green infrastructure presents a comprehensive approach to addressing one of the most pressing urban challenges of our time. Author Colin Thorne combines expert knowledge in hydrology and urban planning to demonstrate how green infrastructure can serve dual purposes: mitigating flood risks while enhancing urban quality of life.
The book explores practical strategies for implementing blue-green solutions in cities worldwide, including permeable pavements, green roofs, rain gardens, and wetland restoration. Thorne discusses how these natural and nature-based solutions can work alongside traditional grey infrastructure to create resilient urban systems. The publication provides case studies, technical guidance, and policy recommendations for urban planners, engineers, and environmental professionals seeking to build more sustainable and flood-resistant cities.
