A completely revised and updated new edition of this successful
book focused on urban policy innovations that promote the
application of blue-green infrastructure in managing water
resources sustainably. Since the first edition published,
nature-based solutions in general and blue-green infrastructure, in
particular, have become a more recognised solution to various
societal challenges, including mitigating climatic extremes in
cities while restoring the natural environment and enhancing
biodiversity. This new edition provides updated research on
urban policy innovations that promote the application of BGI in
managing water resources sustainably. In particular, the book
contains case studies that illustrate how cities of differing
climates, lifestyles and income levels have implemented policy
innovations that promote the application of BGI in managing water,
wastewater and stormwater sustainably to enhance resilience to
climate change and reduce environmental degradation. The seven case
studies are leading cities that have implemented various fiscal and
non-fiscal policy tools to encourage the implementation of BGI on
both public and private property to reduce stormwater runoff
volumes, enhance the health of waterways, enhance resilience to
climate change and meet regulatory requirements.
