Green and blue infrastructures are becoming increasingly important for urban resilience. On the one hand, these elements themselves can be severely affected climate change impacts, but on the other hand they also offer numerous potential solutions in terms of municipal climate adaptation.
This issue is adressed by the Action Plan for Green-Blue Infrastructure for the city of Remscheid. It is a strategic document that aims to specifically strengthen the development and integration of green and blue elements in Remscheid's urban infrastructure. The action plan promotes specific initiatives and measures dedicated to the topics of urban green and urban blue preparing their implementation. In addition, it enables an interdisciplinary understanding of a joint administrative approach and a suitable set of measures in the overall process. The action plan is intended to increase municipal resilience to the effects of climate change, especially heat and heavy rainfall.
