Straten als stedelijke waterbuffers (abstract)

Hieronder vind je het abstract van een onderzoek dat is gepresenteerd tijdens de sessie 'urban water systems' van de conferentie Reinventing the City 2022, georganiseerd door AMS Institute.

Een passage uit het abstract:

(...) Through practice oriented research, the project ‘Roads as urban water buffers’ (2021-2023) provides insight into how water buffering roads (can) function in practice. Through field-research in various Dutch cities and municipalities we study, first of all, the stability, hydraulic and hydrological functioning, and sustainability of water buffering roads. Through MKBA-analyses we quantify, secondly, the cost-effectiveness. Through focus group discussions we identify, thirdly, the possibilities and obstacles with regards to the process of design, implementation, management and maintenance, as well as scalability and transferability of
design and practice. Through GIS-analyses we develop, finally, an opportunities-atlas showcasing the potential for roads as urban water buffers in urbanized contexts.
