Bottom‐Up Initiatives for Green and Blue Infrastructure
Bottom‐up initiatives can definitely improve critical environmental and ecological conditions in dense urban areas. Local participation in the United States is based on a deep‐rooted tradition, community organisations and activist involvement and were initially bolstered by the national campaigns of the Environmental Justice Movement. Interesting bottom‐up initiatives supporting green and blue infrastructure projects are based in New York City and Los Angeles. In Europe, community involvement deals with water resource management, as in Sweden and in the United Kingdom. Europe is traditionally top‐down oriented, but planning practices are gradually including community efforts, as demonstrated by an Italian case study.
