CIRIA report- ‘Water Sensitive Urban Design in the UK: Ideas for built environment practitioners’
This new report provides an overview that sets out the drivers,
benefits and vision for Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) in the UK
and is based on findings from a collaborative project that included
extensive consultation and a literature review to understand the role of
WSUD in the UK. The report describes WSUD as the process of integrating
water cycle management with the built environment through planning and
urban design. The different scales at which WSUD can be applied are
outlined in the report, from the individual building level to whole
neighbourhoods, large commercial developments and entire cities.
