“…Evaluating and mitigating the risks of urban flood disasters is a key issue in urban stormwater management, which is also a major challenge for sustainable urban development (Jiang et al, 2018;Zhang et al, 2016;Zhang et al, 2019). Many concepts, including best management practices (BMPs), low impact development (LID), green infrastructures (GIs), water sensitive urban design (WSUD), and resilient cities, have been proposed to address the many issues associated with urban water management Chui and Trinh, 2016;Li et al, 2019a;Zevenbergen et al, 2018;Haghighatafshar et al, 2019).…”

“…The spatial aspects of BGS, such as planning, design, and construction, have been mostly understood in relation to stormwater and flood management functionality [7,8]. However, as BGS become permanent components of urban open space, they also need to be socially embedded [9] and adapt to the ongoing and ever-changing daily life.…”

In this article, we explore the production of socio-cultural values around blue-green solutions (BGS) through the perspective of care. We explore how values and preferences are formed through the complexity of everyday life engagements in a BGS environment. The data come from a questionnaire answered by 328 households in the neighborhood of Augustenborg in Malmö, Sweden. The questionnaire collects detailed information about inhabitants’ possible recreational use (through Likert scale questions) and willingness to pay (WTP) (estimated through contingent valuation). The study evaluates if and how people care to use, care to live with, and care to pay for BGS. The result shows that people in Augustenborg relate in different and sometimes contradictory ways to BGS. A well-used BGS environment does not per se make the environment successful or result in people preferring a BGS environment in the future. Building awareness about BGS seems to increase the willingness to pay, whereas recreational use seems to decrease it. The study reveals a landscape of care that is constantly being formed and transformed. This suggests that both planning and research needs to focus more on the relation between BGS and social use over time.

“…In the early 1970s, the United States realized that the traditional "drainage-based" approach was insufficient to address the problems of urban rainwater pollution and flooding (Haghighatafshar et al, 2019). In order to protect the water environment more actively, the term best management practices (BMPs) was first introduced in the Clean Water Act enacted in 1972.…”

Due to the impact of climate change and rapid urbanization, issues around global urban flood control and water environment security have emerged as major global concerns. As a practical way to address these issues, exploitation of urban rainwater resources has become a worldwide hotspot for research and application. This paper 1) briefly examined the evolution of rainwater utilization management modes in advanced countries, 2) classified urban rainwater utilization measures from the utilization stages into three categories—source control, medium transmission, and terminal treatment, 3) summarized the advantages, disadvantages, and scope of the application of these measures, 4) reviewed the benefits, drawbacks, and application areas of these measures, and 5) conducted a quantitative analysis of their impact on rainwater pollution and flood control.
