Recent Experiences in the Use of BMPs in Malmö, Sweden
The City of Malmö in Sweden has used BMP more systematically since the late 1980's. Today the implementation of BMP is an integral part of the city's planning of new developments. As a base for this planning, all technical departments in the city have jointly developed a policy for a sustainable drainage of urban stormwater, which has been approved by the politicians. In 1999 a new concept for upgrading overloaded combined sewer systems based on BMP was introduced in Malmö. This concept was applied in the existing development of Augustenborg, which was built up in the late 1940's and early 1950's. The basic idea with the project was to disconnect the stormwater from the combined sewer system and divert it to a new open drainage system for stormwater. The open drainage system is formed by a combination of different BMP techniques. The inhabitants in the Augustenborg area have played a very active role in the planning and the design of the new system. Today all new developments in Malmö are planned with special consideration of the drainage of stormwater. Wherever possible new developments are built up along constructed open drainage corridors, which are laid out at a very early stage in the planning process.
