Basic facts on BGD project • Enhance the synergy of urban blue (water) and green (vegetation) components interacting other urban Eco-SS • BGD promotes a new paradigm for efficient planning and management of the urban environment: • It maximizes ecosystem services’ performance, minimizes environmental footprint and increases the cities’ adaptive capacity to CC, • Provide effective, multifunctional Blue Green Solutions (BGS) to support urban adaptation to CC. • Combines the top-down and bottom-up approaches,
