ABOUT THE EVENT
Extreme rainfall and massive flooding events are becoming more frequent, leaving cities grappling with damage to economy, destruction of assets and loss of lives. These events are not truly ‘unexpected’. Cities can prepare, design for and mitigate the impacts of rain and flood events to enhance the resilience of their developments and communities.
How do we design for flood resilience, manage water efficiently and rapidly invest in climate strategies? Our speakers will be exploring how we can use approaches like nature-based solutions to improve sponginess and to enhance the ability of cities to manage water and floods.
We will also discuss ways in which water systems can be improved by designing and combining blue, green and grey infrastructure to contribute positively to biodiversity and carbon reduction.
