Panel 1: Eco-Inclusivity: Ensuring Green Stormwater Practices Benefit All Communities
The City of Philadelphia has deployed ‘Green Cities, Clean Waters’ which looks at green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) as a means of not just infiltrating storm water, but also improving environmental justice and providing more green spaces for communities. We will look at a case study of a school yard GSI strategy.
