Blue Green Solutions is a phrase that is often used to describe urban design solutions that incorporate natural systems into urban areas to mitigate increased pressure on essential resources that urbanisation can bring such as: food and water; increased air pollution due to transportation; loss of biodiversity; and increased risk of ill health.

These issues are likely to increase when coupled with Climate change through extreme weather events from severe flooding to droughts and heat waves. These urban pressures such as air and water pollution, noise, flood risk, drought, urban heat island effect and resource use can also have direct impacts on the health and comfort of those living in ciy regions.

Examples of blue green solutions might be green roofs, roof gardens and their impact on water retenion and use. Tree pits, swales, urban wetlands, storm water retention and harvesting with their impact on both flood mitigation, heat mitigation, air biodiversity.
