Blue-Green Network and Urban Infrastructure Development Mahua Mukherjee, Ph.D Head, Centre of Excellence in Disaster Mitigation and Management Associate Professor; Department of Architecture & Planning IIT Roorkee, INDIA Thematic Event:
Urban Risk 2002 Elbe River flood in Germany
Strom Xynthia in 2010, France
Houses, such as these in La Faute-sur-Mer, were built in flood-prone areas

Which Way Forward ?
Urban Ecologist, Landscape Planning and Architecture- Ecosystem Services
Green Engineering- De-stressing Urban Environment and provisioning Resiliency
Resilience Blue- Green Urban Infrastructure

BLUE-GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE
Urban Environment: energy and health security
Heat wave, UHI Air Pollution removal, carbon sequestration Avoidance of emissions (reduced energy use) Wind regime- strong wind, pedestrian level discomfort
Urban Water Ecology: water security
Storm-water drainage- Urban Flood, Drought Water quality - Natural treatment Water balance, Water temperature
Urban Agriculture: food security
Soil protection - Soil stabilization, Increased permeability Nutrient cycle - Waste decomposition and nutrient cycling Production
Urban Bio-diversity: habitat protection
Species diversity, Habitat and corridors.
Blue-Green Network
Blue-Green Infrastructure Network
Scale: Macro, Meso, Local and Micro scale Elements: Bits of nature, Patch, Corridor and Matrix Conditions: Healthy, Under Threat, Degenerating and Potential,
Meso (matrix, corridor and patches) Macro Scale
Micro- (corridors, patches and bits of nature) Local (corridors and patches)
Blue-Green Network
Challenges:
Blue-Green Infrastructure Development, Design and Maintenance Culture Finding Opportunities even in small fragmented parcels Performance and benefit assessment quantitatively on long term basis

Medians Bio swale Contextual Context to introduce the Blue- Green Infrastructure
Once upon a time it was a flowing Channel! It can be revived like Cheonggyecheon River in Seoul Contextual Context to introduce the Blue- Green Infrastructure
Blue-Green Infrastructure Proposal for Shivalik Apartments, an neighbourhood in IIT Roorkee

- III. Calculating Contribution:
After Intervention in Shivalik Apartments Neighbourhood
Excess runoff from this neighbourhood will be reduced to two times in a year
