Green and Blue Infrastructure Top‐Down Policies
In Europe and in the United States, environmental and water‐related issues are gaining increasing importance in relation to quality standards, and prevention of water deterioration and climate change. In the EU, a series of directives are devised and Member States introduce related regulations. In particular, national water management is set for each river basin to meet the European Water Framework Directive requirements. In the United States, there is a less prescriptive regulatory framework. The EPA provides funding and technical support for green and blue infrastructure (GBI) implementation in cities to fulfil Clean Water Act requirements. Federal and local administrations are actively promoting restoration projects.
