“…Though often explored for its contributions to urban aesthetics and public health, urban green infrastructure (GI) also shows promise in enhancing urban resilience, through specifically promoting and enhancing ecosystem services linked to reduced flooding risk, urban heat island reduction, improved air quality, reduced energy consumption in buildings, carbon storage, conservation of wildlife habitat, and the provision of recreation and leisure amenities that improve the wellbeing of urban residents (Pennino, McDonald, and Jaffe 2016;Saleh and Weinstein 2016;Sutton-Grier, Wowk, and Bamford 2015). Given the existing built environment, these will often necessarily be hybrid approaches that combine "green," "blue," and "grey" infrastructures to achieve greater wellbeing benefits and more resilient communities (Jeong et al 2016;Klenzendorf et al 2016;Liu et al 2016), particularly in cities located along the coast (Sutton-Grier, Wowk, and Bamford 2015). Urban GI can therefore be seen as "the creative combination of natural and artificial (green þ grey þ blue) structures intended to achieve specific resilience goals (e.g., flood/drought management, public health, etc.)…”

Green infrastructure (GI) has been identified as a promising approach to help cities adapt to climate change through the provision of multiple ecosystem services. However, GI contributions to urban resilience will not be realized until it is more fully mainstreamed in the built environment and design professions. Here, we interrogate five key challenges for the effective implementation of GI: (1) design standards; (2) regulatory pathways; (3) socioeconomic considerations; (4) financeability; and (5) innovation. Methods include a literature review, case studies, and interviews with resilience managers. We propose a people-centred and context-dependent approach to advance effective implementation of GI in urban planning. We highlight two underlying currents that run across all of the challenges-(1) the role of political will as a precondition for tackling all challenges holistically; and (2) the role of stakeholder engagement in achieving public support, harnessing funding, and maintaining and monitoring GI in the long term. Highlights: The effective implementation of GI is context-specific and should adhere to the basic principles of appropriate technology. Continuous community engagement is needed to ensure the inclusivity and multi-functionality of GI. Challenges to successful GI are intersectional and therefore cannot be addressed singly in isolation.

O aproveitamento de água pluvial surge como uma forma de promover a conservação de água em edificações e vem se destacando como medida mitigadora de impactos ambientais. Este trabalho traz a metodologia utilizada na realização de um mapeamento sistemático de literatura (MSL) para análise de ciclo de vida de sistemas prediais de aproveitamento de água pluvial em habitações de interesse social. Partindo das análises realizadas por meio do MSL, foi possível verificar as lacunas do conhecimento que existem na área abordada, assim como os aspectos que podem ser aderidos à pesquisa em questão. Observou-se que o tema é ainda relativamente recente, uma vez que os artigos encontrados datam dos últimos 7 anos. Além disso, verificou-se que os Estados Unidos é o país que mais tem abordado o tema, apontando ainda que no Brasil, há apenas uma pesquisa sobre o assunto. Além disso, as pesquisas apresentadas embasaram seus métodos com abordagens de ACV diferentes. A metodologia utilizada para o mapeamento sistemático de literatura se apresentou satisfatória para atender os objetivos deste trabalho.

“…3.1). Wang et al (2017) also highlighted that a bioretention basin displayed the least climate change impact and financial cost for cleaning water, but separate storm systems consumed the least energy for cleaning water (Jeong et al 2016). Hoang and Fenner (2016) also found that GI can actually increase life cycle costs, especially for maintenance and cleaning.…”

Contributions of green infrastructure to enhancing urban resilience

After briefly reviewing key resilience engineering perspectives and summarising some green infrastructure (GI) tools, we present the contributions that GI can make to enhancing urban resilience and maintaining critical system functionality across complex integrated social-ecological and technical systems. We then examine five key challenges for the effective implementation of GI that include (1) standards; (2) regulation; (3) socioeconomic factors; (4) financeability; and (5) innovation. We highlight ways in which these challenges are being dealt with around the world, particularly through the use of approaches that are both context appropriate and socially inclusive. Although progress surmounting these challenges has been made, more needs to be done to ensure that GI approaches are inclusive and appropriate and feature equally alongside more traditional 'grey' infrastructure in the future of urban resilience planning. This research was undertaken for the Resilience Shift initiative to shift the approach to resilience in practice for critical infrastructure sectors. The programme aims to help practitioners involved in critical infrastructure to make decisions differently, contributing to a safer and better world.
