Key Findings
The paper finds that urban resilience benefits from ecosystem services provided by blue-green measures. A framework is presented for a climate adaptation planning support system, wherein a tool for composing effective sets of blue-green adaptation measures is proposed. Guidance for retrofitting blue-green measures in existing cities is provided.
