Water Sensitive Urban Design Principles
Pluvial floods, which are increasingly present in urban areas, create a turning point in thinking about the principles of urban design and stormwater management. Namely, architects - urban planners have recently recognized the potential value of water with green infrastructure (GI) in the urban environment, as a key component of multipurpose land use and adaptation to climate change. Also, sanitary engineers recognize green infrastructure (GI) as a potential that can be used in combination with existing drainage systems. The introduction of GI (as a decentralized method for atmospheric water management) minimizes the negative consequences of urbanization and climate change. Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) is a concept that supports the management of urban water systems in an integrated way through better water positioning in urban planning and design processes. The result of applying the WSUD principles is a water-sensitive city (WSC) in which water is a resource that is managed in a way that makes the city more pleasant to live in and safer.
