“…Zhou et al [23], instead of using a scenario approach where variables are changed individually, quantified the NPV uncertainties using a Monte Carlo approach to fully explore the propagation of uncertainty from different models and variables choices to the final NPV. A significant source of uncertainty also comes from the hydrological performance of GI [43][44][45].…”

Green infrastructure (GI) contributes to improve urban drainage and also has other societal and environmental benefits that grey infrastructure usually does not have. Economic assessment for urban drainage planning and decision making often focuses on flood criteria. This study presents an economic assessment of GI based on a conventional cost-benefit analysis (CBA) that includes several benefits related to urban drainage (floods, combined sewer overflows and waste water treatment), environmental impacts (receiving water bodies) and additional societal and environmental benefits associated with GI (air quality improvements, aesthetic values, etc.). Benefits from flood damage reduction are monetized based on the widely used concept of Expected Annual Damage (EAD) that was calculated using a 1D/2D urban drainage model together with design storms and a damage model based on tailored flood depth–damage curves. Benefits from Combined Sewer Overflows (CSO) damage reduction were monetized using a 1D urban drainage model with continuous rainfall simulations and prices per cubic meter of spilled combined sewage water estimated from literature; other societal benefits were estimated using unit prices also estimated from literature. This economic assessment was applied to two different case studies: the Spanish cities of Barcelona and Badalona. The results are useful for decision making and also underline the relevancy of including not only flood damages in CBA of GI.

“…In terms of urban stormwater management, foreign advanced experience has also played a positive role in the proposal of sponge cities in China and sponge city adds the Chinese style urban stormwater management concept into the worldwide urban stormwater management system [12]. Before sponge city, many countries in the world had put forward the corresponding urban rainwater management strategy, for instance, the United States put forward the low impact development (LID) [18][19][20][21], best management practices (BMPs) [22] and green infrastructure (GI) [23], Australia put forward water sensitive urban design (WSUD) [24,25], the United Kingdom put forward sustainable drainage systems (SUDS) [26][27][28][29], New Zealand put forward the low impact city design and development (LIUDD) [30,31]. Asian countries are making the same efforts, Singapore put forward ABC management of water system (ABC Plan) [32] and South Korea is also actively exploring and building LID [7].…”

Sponge city is a new urban stormwater management strategy proposed in China, which enables the city to absorb and save stormwater like a sponge, then release stormwater to solve the problems of urban waterlogging and water shortage. However, at present, sponge cities are confronted with such problems as high management cost and low management efficiency, a lack of research on collaborative management between cities and the feasibility of regional cooperation between sponge cities needs to be proved. Therefore, this article puts forward the theory of sponge city regional ecological cooperative management and builds a multivariate cluster analysis model of sponge city and conducts an empirical study on data of 71 Chinese cities. The research results show that under the multi-index linkage system, China’s urban climate and ecological characteristics do have the characteristics of regional agglomeration and the basic conditions of interregional ecological cooperation, which proves the feasibility of the hypothesis of regional cooperation. Therefore, strengthening the ecological cooperation of sponge cities among regional cities is conducive to improving the supply efficiency of ecological environment quality and realizing the sustainable development of cities.

“…While some are related to the basic hydraulic operation, e.g. the correct parameterization of soil hydraulic conductivity (Bockhorn et al 2017), others are related to the ambition of NBS to be multifunctional and to the governance challenges inherent in NBS projects. A system intended to manage stormwater, mitigate the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect, and serve as an amenity for local citizens is unlikely to perform any of these single tasks as efficiently as a mono-functional system.…”

An SDG-based framework for assessing urban stormwater management systems

Nature-Based Solutions for stormwater management on top of handling water should, ideally, deliver a multitude of other services to society; they are often seen as a lever for transforming cities in a more livable, green, resilient and sustainable direction, and these measures should be acknowledged as part of the services delivered. In this study we assess the services that Nature-Based Solutions for stormwater management deliver with reference to targets and indicators from the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals; we also develop local, project level indicators that inform and are informed by the more broad Sustainable Development Goals indicators. We demonstrate through Danish cases ranging from lot to city scale that the proposed framework can help inform decision-makers about the sustainability of Nature-Based Solutions for stormwater management. Despite difficulties in matching local indicators to SDG indicators, this first attempt at an assessment framework provides insight on which services of a project help to work towards the Sustainable Development Goals and, if used in the planning phase, could facilitate the design of projects that work focused and informed towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
