  2. Agenda Background BGD Framework Ecosystem services Mission Methods Questions

  3. Background The Blue Green Dream Project works to enhance the synergy of urban blue (water) and green (vegetated) systems and provide effective, multifunctionalBlue Green solutions to support urban adaptation to future climatic changes. It is a project under the European Institute of Innovation and Technology's Climate Knowledge and Innovation Community.

  5. Definition of ecosystem services • Supporting Services • Regulating Services • Provisioning Services Ecosystem services • Cultural • Services We plan to address these issues in the joint conceptual design

  6. Definition of ecosystem services • Timber • Fiber Fuel Bio-chemicals resources • Food Provisioning services Energy resources • Medicines Fresh water Ornamental resources

  7. Definition of ecosystem services • Local climate and air quality • Moderation of extreme events Biological control Noise pollution • Acoustic abatement Erosion prevention Regulating services • Biodiversity • Carbon sequestration and storage Pollination • Waste water treatment CO 2 sequestration Air pollution Maintenance of soil fertility

  8. Definition of ecosystem services • Spiritual and religious values • Cultural diversity Recreation and religious values Cultural services Knowledge system • Educational values Aesthetic values Recreation and tourism

  9. Definition of ecosystem services • Soil formation Crop pollination • Habitats for wildlife Supporting services Photosynthesis • Nutrient cycling Primary productions Water cycling

  10. Ecosystem Services in Urban areas • Huge Energy demands Recreation and tourism • Spiritual and religious values • Reduction of Urban Biodiversity Air and noise pollution • Carbon sequestration and storage • Reduced quality of life • Local climate and air quality • Nutrient cycling Knowledge system • Urban Heat Island • Educational values • Urban flood and droughts Aesthetic values Primary productions Pollination

  11. Example of ecosystem services ESS ES Processess TREE TEMPERATURE REDUCTION EVAPOTRANSPORATION

  12. Mission - Spatial Planning Spatial planning has key role in addressing the causes of climate change. Blue Green Solutions enhance the synergy of urban blue (urban water infrastructure) and urban vegetated areas (green systems) by providing multiple benefits to urban ecosystem services and functions. Ecosystem based sustainable urban planning can help achieving: • Increased amenity values and urban health • Mitigation of extreme UHI (Thermal effect) • Sustainable Water management( water demand, water harvesting, sustainable drainage system*) • Increase resilience to droughts • Reduction of energy demands (energy-efficiency of building, demand for heating and cooling) • Reduction of water, air and noise pollution • Enhancement of biodiversity and quality of life • Enabling sustainable urban food production Additionally they have significant socioeconomic benefits such as: job creation, reduction of antisocial behaviour and crime. BG solutions are thus considered essential in planning for both new urban developments and retrofitting of the existing urban fabric.

  13. Research plan Assess impact on human well-being Test asset level without BG infrastructure Make database of results and make model Integrate model into BGD integrated modelling systems Set the boundary level Choose demo site Make model for different scenarios Test asset level with BG infrastructure

  14. Methods This principal aim will be disaggregated into the following detailed objectives: • Extensive literature survey in order to identify knowledge gaps and research challenges • Development a new integrated model of urban planning with Glue-Green Dream technologies such as flood risk management, microclimate and bioclimatic architecture based on parametric design. • Selection of demo/test location and monitoring of processes to enable quantification of eco-system services performance indicators • Valuation of interactions of urban biodiversity and ecosystem services with urban B&G infrastructure. Experimentally verify the impact of integrated Blue-Green solutions on the urban ecosystem services

  15. Questions • What is approach of the other country partners? • How much of them can interact with my research?
