Sustainable drainage estates, Hammersmith and Fulham

Where

The project has focussed on green infrastructure-based approaches to dealing with the effects of storm water and increasing communities’ resilience to climate change whilst also delivering multiple other benefits including improvements in biodiversity, visual amenity, play provision, local food production and air quality. This project was innovative in demonstrating how known green infrastructure techniques, with their many benefits, can be retrofitted on a large scale into existing social housing estates. This approach will be vital for increasing resilience to climate change, as focussing on new build alone will not deliver the scale or speed of change required.
