AB  - Urban blue-green infrastructure (BGI) is a network of nature-based featuressituated in built-up areas that form part of the urban landscape. These featuresare either based on vegetation (green), water (blue), or both. Green roofs andwalls, grassed areas, rain gardens, swales (shallow channels, or drains), trees,parks, rivers and ponds are all examples of this type of architecture. Blue-greeninfrastructure is important as a climate change mitigation and adaptation measure,and has a host of wider benefits to people and wildlife. This briefing note summarises the benefits that blue-greeninfrastructure brings to people, recent trends in the use of blueor green features in urban settings, and the perceived barriersto greater uptake in the UK and how these might be overcome.This paper also explores how thinking about the way thesefeatures fit within a wider system of natural and human factors,so-called systems thinking, can help improve the evaluation ofblue-green assets from a range of different perspectives.
