Across the world communities are facing the complex challenge of aging stormwater infrastructure, increased expectations of urban life and protection levels in tandem with densification, and the prospect of more frequent high-intensity rain events as a result of climate change. Traditional (gray) stormwater infrastructure is no longer an adequate solution on its own.

This catalog is meant as an inspiration to colleagues around the world who wish to advance multi-purpose, nature-based designs to create resilient stormwater management solutions and reach sustainable societies where people and nature flourish.
