Climate change and urbanization lead to many complex urban issues, including rising temperatures and increasing incidences of extreme events like flooding, drought, heat wave, and groundwater stress. The solution to all these urban issues can be found in adapting blue-green infrastructure. The blue-green infrastructure can be defined as natural or artificial elements such as urban forests, parks, gardens, green roofs, vertical green facades’, lakes, ponds, canals, wetlands, rain gardens, and rivers, which are used to manage stormwater, temperature control, and other benefits. Still, there are certain barriers while implementing them. This study focuses on identifying such barriers while implementing blue-green infrastructure in Ahmedabad. This study aims to study the enablers and barriers for the adaption of blue-green infrastructure for sustainable and resilient urban development.
