To BGD or not to BGD, that is not the question now
3
Basic facts on BGD project
Enhance the synergy of urban blue (water) and green (vegetation) components interacting other urban Eco-SS BGD promotes a new paradigm for efficient planning and management of the urban environment: It maximizes ecosystem services’ performance, minimizes environmental footprint and increases the cities’ adaptive capacity to CC, Provide effective, multifunctional Blue Green Solutions (BGS) to support urban adaptation to CC. Combines the top-down and bottom-up approaches,

The Broadening of Urban Water Systems Design
Socio-Political Drivers Tackling the Integrated solutions for adaptation ofban ecosystem services for CC Water supply access & security Public health protection Flood protection Social amenity, environmental protection Limits on natural resources Intergenerational equity resilience to climate change Expansion of SuDS concept Water Supply City Sewered City Drained City SUDS Water Ways City Water Cycle City Water Sensitive City BGD WSUD Adaptive, multi-functional infrastructure& urban design reinforcing water sensitive behaviours Expansion of SuDS concept Diverse, fit-for purpose sources & conservation promoting protection Point & diffuse source pollution management Separate sewerage schemas Supply hydraulics Drainage, channelization Optimal solution for adaptation of urban spaces to CC based on BG interaction with urban ecosystem services Service Delivery Functions WSUD: Water Sensitive Urban Design [CIRIA, 2013] BG: Blue Green [Maksimovic, 2013]

Definition of ecosystem services
Integrate the existing knowledge and modelling tools and develop next generation `BG IMS Extraction knowledge Sensitivity analysis Unified performance indicators Modelling of interactions Quantification of performance and benefits Assistance to planners Inputs to the BG IMS Biodiversity Acoustic abatement Thermal comfort CO 2 sequestration Noise pollution Runoff quality Ecosystem services Quantify the individual impacts (performance) and impact of interactions. Develop the rules for BGD IMS We shall rely on the existing knowledge but will also develop some new facts and `rules` Air pollution Aesthetic Values Flood risk reduction

Towards Blue Green Dream’s Integrated Modelling System (IMS)
Good afternoon everyone. I am Xi from Imperial College and I’d like to introduce you the Blue Green Dream Integrated modelling system and the corresponding part I am responsible for.

Capital cost benefits:
Cheaper water systems Cheaper renewable energy plant Cheaper artificial energy plant - ( Often cheaper building) Better living environment quality Resulting benefits: lower building running cost Lower occupants running costs Better quality indoor and outdoor Environment >> Marketing stronger / higher profits possible
