1 Livable Cities Thriving with Water: Artful, Technically Innovative, Integrated Herbert Dreiseitl Director, Liveable Cities Lab Ramboll Sustainable Solutions Lab Quarterly Climate Adaptation Forum June 8, 2018

2 WHY DESIGN MATTERS; ARTFUL, TECHNICALLY INNOVATIVE, INTEGRATED STRATEGIES THAT WORK Climate Adaptation Forum, Boston Jun Herbert Dreiseitl, Liveable Cities Lab / Ramboll;

3 HOW CAN WE BRING BLUE-GREEN INTO GRAY CITIES?! Soon 2/3 of mankind will live in Cities This creates increasing pressure on Nature and the Environment Green disappears and Blue is displaced to Underground

4 We turn the city s backside to water The Current Challenges 1. Climate change 2. Growing cities with increasing areas of hard surfaces 3. Limited capacities of drainage facilities, economic limits for upgrading 4. Decreasing open space for green areas and open water

5 Partial cloudbursts are more and more common... One place gets flooded but... other neighborhoods sometimes get no drop of rain. The heat island effect causes heavy local downpours in cities Max. 119 mm

45 COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS Ramboll is increasingly selling the riskbased resiliency planning approach to: 1. Build the business case (Copenhagen, NYC, Singapore, Gothenburg, etc.) 2. Prioritize options or plans (Copenhagen, Buzzard Point) 3. Define optimum safety level (Kildeskovsrenden, Buzzard Point)
