The Rain City Strategy identifies blue-green systems as networks of park-like streets that manage water and land. These systems are inspired by nature and aim to replicate natural functions while providing ecosystem services. They protect the urban landscape and water cycle's ecological, hydrological, and social values, and provide resilient measures to address climate change, flood management, increase connectivity, and enhance access to nature. This tour will discuss the city-wide planning of blue-green infrastructure and showcase the design and construction of several green rainwater infrastructure projects that feature public spaces and cycle tracks, and make space for people, water, and nature in the city.
