“…This may be due to earlier studies investigating the barriers to sustainable drainage schemes with a specific focus on management of water quality and quantity, or due to the professional remit of interview respondents, e.g. Cettner et al (2013) only interviewed water professionals whereas in this study, a group of multidisciplinary stakeholders was selected.…”

“…Ten respondents currently work in flood and water management or have a background in water engineering and five of the nine remaining respondents are part of the Newcastle Learning and Action Alliance and knowledgeable of BGI. Respondents may be comfortable with the level of certainty that current hydrological and engineering science provides based on trusted design guidance, their own engineering expertise and personal experience of successful schemes, as observed in other interviews with water management professionals (Cettner et al 2013;Simmons 2015).…”

There is a recognised need for a fundamental change in how the UK manages urban water and flood risk in response to increasingly frequent rainfall events coupled with planned urban expansion. Approaches centred on 'living with and making space for water' are increasingly adopted internationally. Nonetheless, widespread implementation of Blue-Green Infrastructure (BGI) is currently hampered by barriers that impede uptake and innovation. We investigate the barriers to implementation of BGI in Newcastle, UK, through a series of semi-structured interviews with professional stakeholders. We identify and categorise 17 types of barrier and identify targeted strategies to overcome the dominant barriers. We recommend promotion of BGI's capacity to meet the objectives of multiple organisations and Local Authority departments, in addition to managing urban water. We conclude that strong business cases, supported by monetised evidence of benefits, and collaborative, inter-agency working could advance implementation of BGI within the current flood risk management legislation.

This study explores system interactions of stormwater management solutions using Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SuDS) and Green Infrastructure (GI) within the wider urban landscape. A series of interdependencies between urban components relating to stormwater management are identified. These include physical interdependency, geographical interdependency, cyber interdependency and logical interdependency, as defined by Peerenboom (2001). Stormwater management using SuDS/GI are viewed according to their Hydrological, Ecological and the Built Environment functions during events up to the design rain (non-flood condition) and during controlled exceedance and uncontrolled inundation (flood condition). The inclusion of SuDS/GI into the urban fabric is shown to modify urban functional and relational interdependencies under both these conditions. Within the context of the UK, there are fragmented responsibilities across planning scales created by SuDS/GI solutions which have not addressed the relational complexities that exist between agencies and competent authorities. The paper identifies the key barriers towards effective adoption of SuDS/GI within the context of the UK as physical barriers, perception/information barriers and organisational barriers.

“…This conceptual shift also led to their synergy with the most contemporary urban approaches, especially those based on the importance of the natural environment and an ecological approach to the urban planning and design, such us Ecological Urbanism [5] and interrelated movement -Green Urbanism, Urban Green Infrastructure, Green-Blue Infrastructure, Landscape Urbanism, Sustainable Urbanism: Design with Nature, etc. [6] [7][8] [9], while simultaneously achieving the primary goals of contemporary urban planning and design process -improving the quality of life and the quality of the built environment [10].…”

This paper deals with multiple benefits and outcomes at a lower spatialfunctional city levels generated by the synergy of Urban Green Infrastructure approach and integrated stormwater management approaches, resulting from their simultaneous application in the process of urban planning and design. The conducted research examines and analyzes key characteristics of Green Infrastructure and integrated stormwater management approaches, as well as their relationship in terms of principles, spatial-functional forms, types and benefits of their implementation. Since both of them are based on supporting and mimicking the natural environment in urban conditions, which makes them environmentally friendly and allows a greater presence of nature in many urban circumstances, the focus is on investigation of two common main principles and benefits of their implementation-closer connection with nature and increase of biodiversity in urban environment. The research platform consists of selected examples from Vienna which represent different types of lower spatialfunctional levels in which both approaches are applied, making them suitable for examining the effects of their synergy.
