Abstract

Pluvial flooding is an increasing plague among the current urban problems. Green streets reconvert urban public connection space for multi-benefit uses such as preventing flooding, improving air and rainwater quality, increasing clean water infiltrated into groundwater, reducing the effects of urban heat island, providing open spaces, recreational habitats and green pedestrian links. An interscalar research project applies good practices of sustainable rainwater road management through nature-based solutions on an axis of strategic connection in the Terra di Lavoro plain (Campania, Southern Italy), offering original technical protocols. Main points of reflection are the central role of local public governments as drivers of integrated projects, the interdisciplinary vision and the meaning value of the interconnected green stormwater infrastructures (GSI) network.
