The Blue Green System is a planning tool that helps city planners and developers integrate green space, trees and natural flood management into their projects.
Many cities lack a holistic approach to nature-based solutions to increase resilience. Instead solutions such as providing shade from the sun are applied in a mono-functional way. The Blue Green System project is a methodology and set of tools developed by researchers at Imperial College London, with the support of Climate KIC. The System helps city planners and developers integrate green space, trees and natural flood management into projects. Researchers now provide expertise through services connected to disseminating the blue-green solutions. Thirteen demo sites have been created in different countries to demonstrate solutions such as urban lakes and bioswales, as well as green roofs equipped with sensors for predicting stormwater collection and thermal insulation benefits. The framework is applicable at building, neighborhood and city-scale and suitable both for new and retrofit developments.

Have you initiated contacts or technological transfer agreements?The WIPO GREEN database is a free, solutions oriented, global innovation catalogue that connects needs for solving environmental or climate change problems with tangible solutions. The database consists of user uploads of needs and solutions, green technology patents from the WIPO Patentscope database, imports from select partner organizations, relevant knowledge material, and relevant expert profiles. Some of the unique features of the database are: Always-on AI-assisted auto-matching, user uploads tracing and alerts, full-text search for solutions based on long need descriptions, and the Patent2Solution search function for finding commercial applications of a patent. Free registration is required for uploading.
