Rapid urbanization and climate change have increased the frequency of urban flooding, water pollution, and drainage system overload. This workshop explores SUDS and NbS as integrated, low-impact strategies that manage stormwater while enhancing biodiversity, urban cooling, and livability.
Participants will learn about a range of techniques—green roofs, rain gardens, bioswales, permeable pavements, constructed wetlands, and more—along with their design principles, modeling tools, policy frameworks, and performance metrics.
