Barriers to integrating sustainable stormwater management in urban environments in Sweden
Author
Summary, in English
Economic, knowledge-based, legislative, organizational, and political barriers hinder the efficient implementation of sustainable stormwater management in Sweden.
A comprehensive approach involving legislative clarity, improved financial models, enhanced collaboration, and a shift in political priorities towards blue-green infrastructure is needed.
Balancing urban development with urban green spaces remains a significant challenge, requiring strategies for multiple functions of stormwater solutions.
