“…Elmqvist, et al [54] relate aspects of sustainability and flood mitigation to the provision of various man-made and natural green infrastructure. From a climate perspective, it is also necessary to determine the vegetation type and distribution to achieve the best outcomes [10]. The effectiveness of each choice is influenced by the installation location [55], type, and the percentage of area occupied with one (or more) of these practices [53].…”

“…The Federal Law No. 10.257, dated August 10, 2001, known as "the City Statute", provides for every municipality, the master plan, programs, and sectoral projects, as well as other urban planning instruments with the potential to control the impacts of urbanisation on the hydrological cycle and the environment. According to this statute, the urban master plan is a set of principles and rules that guide the action of the construction agents in an urban space with the neighbourhood (e.g., a set of blocks and lots) as the central unit of management.…”

Land-Use and Legislation-Based Methodology for the Implementation of Sustainable Drainage Systems in the Semi-Arid Region of Brazil

In developing countries, the urbanisation process occurs with empirical urban management, a high increase of impermeable areas, and a lack of connection between water resource management and planning. In Brazil, concentrated rainfall and ineffective urban drainage systems add to this context and may impact the population with flash floods. Although sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) are widely used for flood mitigation, it is still not very well known how those strategies behave in semi-arid regions, where most of the time the weather is very dry. In Brazil, flood mitigation still mostly involves structural measures such as larger pipes or channels, with limited guidance for SuDS use due to the great resistance to change by citizens and managers. This study sought to analyse the efficacy of SuDS in Campina Grande, a semi-arid region of Brazil. A land-use and legislation-based methodology was developed with physical, climate, hydrological and governance data for three catchments and 312 sub-catchments in 30 applications and simulations. Simulations suggest that these strategies would be appropriate for semi-arid regions, with reductions in the flooded area, flooding volume, and impacts. This study is of relevance for cities with a similar climate to reach a sustainable level of urban drainage services, supporting the integration of urban planning and water resources management.

“…Of course, the protection or promotion of 'heritage' inevitably involves the selective (re)interpretation of certain aspects of the past, designed to suit "contemporary purposes, be that economic, cultural, political or social" (Graham, Ashworth, & Tunbridge, 2000). Nevertheless, despite recent detailed efforts to re-assess and celebrate aspects of everyday post-war modernist architecture (Harwood, 2015;Hopkins, 2017), many buildings and structures from this era evoke inaccessible architectural and cultural meanings that often conflict with the fast-paced, contemporary city, replete with its changing fashions, tastes and policy emphasis on sustainable urbanism (Benton-Short, Keeley, & Rowland, 2019). In some cases, the architectural and planning endeavours underpinning these buildings remain important concerns for certain groups and individuals.…”

Consideration of the speed and scale of change of urban forms has a long history in urban morphological thought. Buildings and forms that persist in the urban landscape through inertia or, more positively, deliberate decisions to retain them create character and -a more recent argument -contribute to sustainability not least in their embedded energy. This paper explores issues of the persistence and adaptation of some urban forms, focusing on the central business district of Birmingham, UK. Much of this is now protected as a conservation area, and some of its forms have persisted for centuries. Yet there have been periods of rapid change, and we examine the extent of change following Second World War bomb damage. This allows discussion of the dynamics of change and the agents and agencies responsible for producing new urban forms or

City Park is open land that functions as a Green Open Space in an Urban area. The function of the existence of City Park can be an aesthetic function, a means of recreational activities, education or other activities. We explore how geography contributes to research on green open space as a function of education that leads to sustainable development. The study was conducted on the Geography Subject of the population discussing environmental problems, involving 40 students divided into 5 groups. Analysis of the study of this research was carried out on how the problem-solving techniques, and student attitudes towards the problem. In learning by utilizing City Park as a green open space, it can enhance students' spatial intelligence. Through the utilization of green open space for learning, it is built by the ability to analyze and understand the characteristics of the environment, understand the concept of environment, interconnection / interrelation of sustainability and changes in the environment.
