Abstract

Climate change, urbanization, and extreme weather events such as heavy rainfall and drought present major challenges for urban water management. This paper proposes a framework to evaluate the effectiveness of blue–green infrastructure (BGI) as a sustainable stormwater management solution across different residential development scales. Two contrasting case studies are examined: a small terraced housing catchment and a large housing estate. A multi-criteria analysis (MCA) supports a structured comparison of BGI effectiveness, while a complementary SWOT analysis informs strategic implementation approaches. The results demonstrate the practical applicability of the framework and underscore that successful stormwater management requires both innovative technologies and reform in urban planning governance. This study offers valuable insights into building climate-resilient cities.
