The author argues that urban water managers have traditionally relied on grey infrastructural solutions to mitigate risks with numerous economic and environmental consequences. Brears explores the role urban water managers have in implementing blue-green infrastructure to reduce ecological damage and mitigate risk. The case studies in this book illustrate how cities, of differing climates, lifestyles and income-levels, have implemented policy innovations that promote the application of blue-green infrastructure in managing water, wastewater and stormwater sustainably to reduce environmental degradation and enhance resilience to climate change. This new research on urban policy innovations that promote the application of blue-green infrastructure in managing water resources sustainably will be of interest to those working on water conservation and policy. Robert C. Brears is the founder of Mitidaption, Mark and Focus, and is Director on the International Board of the Indo Global Chamber of Commerce, Industries and Agriculture. He is the author of Urban Water Security (2016). 606 $aEnvironmental sciences$xSocial aspects 606 $aHuman ecology$xStudy and teaching 606 $aEcology 606 $aSociology, Urban 606 $aEnvironmental geography 606 $aSustainable architecture 606 $aEnvironmental Social Sciences 606 $aEnvironmental Studies 606 $aEnvironmental Sciences 606 $aUrban Sociology 606 $aIntegrated Geography 606 $aSustainable Architecture/Green Buildings 615 0$aEnvironmental sciences$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aHuman ecology$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aEcology. 615 0$aSociology, Urban. 615 0$aEnvironmental geography. 615 0$aSustainable architecture. 615 14$aEnvironmental Social Sciences. 615 24$aEnvironmental Studies. 615 24$aEnvironmental Sciences. 615 24$aUrban Sociology. 615 24$aIntegrated Geography. 615 24$aSustainable Architecture/Green Buildings. 676 $a363.6/1091732 676 $a363.61091732 700 $aBrears$b Robert C$0908772 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910746960403321 996 $aBlue and Green Cities$92215594 997 $aUNINA
