2 3 Blue Green Solutions Guide Credits Mr Ranko Bozovic, EnPlus consultancy Contributed to all chapters using his expertise in the field of Blue Green planning methodology and BG solutions optimisation processes. Prof. Cedo Maksimovic, Imperial College London The founder and leader of the Climate-KIC Blue Green Dream project, Cedo provided strategic oversight and contributed to the BG Systems im- plementation framework both for this guide and in practice. Dr Ana Mijic, Imperial College London Ana’s expertise is in urban water management and modelling of integrated urban water systems (groundwater, land surface, drainage and green infrastructure) for climate change resilience. She contributed to chapters two and four. Dr Karl M. Smith, London Southbank University Karl managed the Blue Green Dream project be- tween 2013 and 2014 and has an established track record in environmental engineering re- search. He has provided copy writing/editing in- put to the guide. Mr Ivo Suter, Imperial College London Ivo is currently conducting a doctorate on simu- lating the effect of green roofs on the urban mi- cro-climate. He contributed to the Imperial Col- lege Case study. This guide was funded by Climate-KIC. We wish to thank Sean Lockie, Aled Thomas and Gina Lovett from Climate-KIC for their strong support and their astute and insightful feedback on the guide’s content and presentation. We would like to acknowledge all project partners of the Climate KIC Innovation project The Blue Green Dream (BGD), which ran from 2012 to 2015.

Increased urbanisation brings with it a host of problems: increased pressure on essential resources such as food and water; increased air pollution due to transportation; loss of biodiversity; and increased risk of ill health (Figure 1). The challenge posed by urbanisation is, however, magnified when coupled with climate change. Climate change is expected to lead to more extreme weather events in the form of severe floods, droughts and heat waves 1-6 . Such events can spell disaster for a city, especially when it is already dealing with the challenges that increasing urbanisation presents.
