Presenter: Simon Beecham Due to increasing land costs and reduced land availability in highly populated cities, there is considerable attention being paid to multifunctional urban land use. For example, many city road and rail transport systems are now being placed underground. This same pressure on land availability is now impacting on designs of urban water systems and particularly on stormwater systems. Despite their many advantages, most current water sensitive urban design systems still also involve dedicating quite large land areas to a single land use such as water quality treatment, flood control or water conservation. This presentation investigates how multifunctional land use can be achieved using innovative approaches to urban water management. #SpeakerPresentation
