Abstract:The combination of urbanization and climate change will lead to significant concerns in the foreseeable future, as urbanisation reinforces the effects of climate change. The two major concerns regarding climate change in urban areas are flooding and heat-stress, both of which Blue-Green (BG) infrastructure can offer partial relief to. As the Dutch built urban environment predominantly consists of pitched roofs, there is a need for research regarding the possibilities of applying BG there. A modular setup is designed for Living Innovations Lab (LILa), a fieldlab in development on campus of the University of Twente, offering a platform to perform research on the effectiveness of BG infrastructure on a variety of pitched roof geometries in a semi-controlled research environment. This research platform will provide the possibility to make more informed decisions regarding the implementation of BG in the Dutch built urban environment.
