School of Civil Engineering FACULTY OF ENGINEERING Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) at the University of Leeds campus . Christopher Smith – MSc Environmental Engineering & Project Management, 2019

Water Sensitive Urban Design Aims: Integrate the water cycle into urban design and planning Image / explanation /example***** - aims / good practice / outcomes / deliverables & wider relevance

Commitment Leeds Sustainable buildings design standard. 2017 – 2020: Sustainable use of Water (1) ØFlood Risk from Surface Runoff –SUDS, Landscaping Campus will be used to test and showcase examples of sustainable urban drainage ØCollaboration with water@leeds, implementing sustainable urban drainage solutions (7)

The wider impact…. Infrastructure Research Innovation 6 9 water resilience WSUD Environment Adaptation Risk Management 13 climate adaptation 11 city impact Sustainable management, Conserve & Reuse Environment Adaptation Risk Management

Status today US, Australia - early adopters (images / example) UK – challenges Flood and Water Management Act 2010 in England, SUD systems for new developments (e. g. Duffy et al. , 2012). EVIDENCE? City of Leeds & Aire catchment - growing city, flood risk Campus – commitment since 2014, few examples – why?

Collaboration Øcommon language Øfuture integration of the water cycle within the built environment

Resources ØContractors – leverage relationships ØUo. L – powerful multidisciplinary approach to integrate stakeholders ØCity of Leeds – lead best practice, deliver skills exchange Ø

Building knowledge and capacity Policy implementation Integrating planning: river basin management plans, water resources planning and drought planning WSUD could help with payment for ecosystem services. Water is valued, giving credibility to policy decisions.

Positive partnering with society SLIDE AIM: City of Leeds – highlight broader benefits of embedding water & sensitive urban design – water, litter, amenity, green and blue water, flood and climate change resilience Participation & involvement: local decision making about water in their environment, contributing local knowledge to urban planning and design (3)
