How can we define the value different measures provide to the end-users and how can we involve inhabitants when planning for climate adaptation? Together with researchers from the TU Delft and the Municipality of The Hague, we are conducting a research into the value inhabitants derive from grey and infrastructure to prevent pluvial flooding.

The space needed for water retention and infiltration in urban areas is typically limited. This results in conflicts with other uses of space, and in solutions that are expensive. With the Urban Waterbuffer (UWB) rainwater in urban areas can be purified and retained for a longer time, without obstructing other spatial functions.
