Purpose and description of the content of education:
The Blue and Green Infrastructure module aims to bring the student closer to the topic of solving the problems faced by cities in connection with climate change, i.e. periodic droughts on the one hand and torrential rains causing floods and local flooding on the other. During the lectures, the importance of urban ecosystems in the context of water management, a systemic approach to green areas and waters in the city, tools and strategies in planning BZI as well as an overview of technical solutions and examples of good practice will be presented. As part of laboratory classes, students will attempt to assess the existing systems of green areas and waters, select the right solutions depending on spatial and natural conditions, and get acquainted in detail with the technical solutions of BGI elements and design selected elements.
