This edited book discusses Blue-Green Infrastructure (BGI) from
conception to implementation in building resilience and urban
sustainability. The book emphasizes on infrastructures,
institutions, and perceptions as three main pillars of implementing
and managing successful BGI, with a special focus on Asia. The book
highlights concepts as well as field-based experiences from
different parts of Asia by experts, with a special focus on
advances and opportunities in advancing BGI, challenges and
constraints, followed by case studies on BGI mainstreaming. It
addresses sustainable water management, multiscale environmental
design, environmental risk assessment, and finally understanding
policy implications and concerns for BGI mainstreaming in growing
urban sprawls of the region. There has been growing global momentum
and recognition of Blue-Green Infrastructure (BGI) as a
multifunctional Nature-based Solution (NbS) with multiple
co-benefits. There is strong evidence from many urban centres of
Europe, USA, China, and South Africa demonstrating that
mainstreaming BGI can help in addressing growing vulnerability of
urban areas by ensuring safety, resilience, and sustainability for
urban residents in the warming world. This book is a timely
contribution for researchers, students, scholars, urban planners,
consultants, and policy makers in the fields of environment,
resilience, urban planning, climate adaptation, and sustainability
science. Â
