Copenhagen Cloudburst Formula

Introduction

A torrential rainstorm in 2011 caused Copenhagen to suffer nearly a billion dollars in losses, and made mitigation measures against current climate change a top priority for the city's next development plan. The floods in various jurisdictions have led planners, engineers, economists, ordinary citizens, equipment suppliers, politicians and investors to engage in a truly cross-disciplinary effort to integrate climate adaptation options. In the control regulations. The Copenhagen Storm Response Code was born out of this cooperation. Based on a reliable investment strategy, the blue-green system combined with urban planning, transportation system and hydraulic analysis will be able to flexibly cope with the extreme rainstorms and floods that occur more frequently due to climate change, and further optimize the urban living environment and quality.

Reason to Be Selected

Urban public space is a valuable resource. This rainwater infiltration treatment has been implemented in more than 300 pioneering projects in the city. Local developers have integrated the stormwater management design guidelines into the design requirements, and the universality of the Copenhagen storm response code is also in Europe. The design schemes in the United States and Asia have been verified.

Details

Compared to traditional municipal infrastructure, the blue-green system exposed to the sun is known for its low technology and high interactivity. The blue-green strategy links the green space and the water system with climate change adaptability in a limited urban space, complementing each other and exerting their maximum effectiveness. These interdisciplinary measures fill the gap between planning and site-specific measures with a “toolbox” of storms built on different terrains. These strategies are further integrated into the Copenhagen Storm Response Code of Conduct, which combines blue-green measures into the design in just six steps:

1. Data collection and investigation: According to the rainstorm risk indicator, the city will investigate, identify and rank the threat levels of different regions, stimulate investment, influence the value of land parcels, and influence the impact of strategy implementation on adjacent land development.

2. Establishing models and mapping: Each administrative division divides its fields into different stormwater catchments, and identifies vulnerable by establishing large hydrological models including geographic information systems, surface water, sewage systems, landforms, and risk assessments. area.

3. The cost of no measures: The impact of climate change is astounding. After analysis and calculation by the government and professional consultants, even if no measures are taken, the annual cost will be as high as 6 in 2110. 90 million dollars.

4. Design and Qualification: Key areas will be identified, transforming strategic planning into a human-scale spatial experience and providing examples for other cities to mitigate torrential rains and respond to daily rainfall. The "Rainstorm Toolbox" will also become a versatile design tactical library with universality and flexibility.

5. Participation and interaction: Heavy rain will affect every corner of Copenhagen. A comprehensive strategy designed for public participation has emerged, so that every ordinary citizen who may be affected can also make suggestions.

6. Rainstorm economy: The combination of a high-ratio blue-green strategy and a low-proportion municipal pipeline retrofit will save nearly 50% of the cost compared to traditional planning. The subsequent increase in the quality of residents' health, environment and urban space will further enhance their economic effects.

Conclusions

The flexible urban ecological waterscape will provide a platform for creating a vibrant public space, which will have a great impact on the sustainable development of the urban economy, the improvement of the quality of life, and the cultural and social significance of the city's health and prosperity.
