Rainproof Amsterdam - Combating climate change one roof at a time!

Infograpic - Computational Social Science

This infographic contains the findings of the Rainproof challenge given to four Computational Social Science students at the University of Amsterdam. Guided by Waternet and their RESILIO project, the infographic presents a solution for combating climate change and excessive flooding. The findings of this project suggest the implementation of blue (water features), green (plants), and yellow (solar options) roofs as climate-adaptive building solutions. While these roofs are useful for the prevention of flooding, they also increase biodiversity and property value. As means of incentivizing public and private property owners to install these roofs, it is suggested to offer the opportunity to customize the roofs by combining multiple blue, green, and yellow features.
