Excited to share our ongoing work with the City of Dunwoody at the Dunwoody Nature Center! Together, we've designed and continue to maintain bioretention areas and rain gardens that manage stormwater for the Center and its surroundings. These spaces double as outdoor classrooms, educating visitors on native vegetation and sustainable stormwater management. Proud to offer both design expertise and hands-on experience for lasting environmental solutions. #loweengineers #atlantaengineers #dunwoodynaturecenter #environmentalsolutions #SustainableEngineering #CommunityEducation #StormwaterManagement"

Raingardens, rainsculptures, SuDS basins and permeable paving - sustainable rainwater management is woven creatively into the design of a community space where, in the words of a local mum "it's actually bringing the community together."

We recently released Watershed, a book documenting our 2022 Design Issues Series (DIS). Growing out of (DIS) 2021’s Environmental Justice Symposium, (DIS) Watershed examined how human decisions shape the flow of water across our cities, sometimes causing disproportionate environmental harms for disadvantaged communities. Coalescing around a series of collaborations with community organizations, the project documented issues with stormwater runoff, sewer backups, and tree canopy. Observing that inequality is so engrained in the built environment, it can be predictably mapped out from city to city, the (DIS) book also emphasizes grassroots efforts to advance equity, sustainability, resilience, and environmental justice in the places where we live.

The Landscape Institutes' Response to the King’s Speech: Sustainable development and nature-based solutions: "Ambitious house-building targets should ensure that new homes are not simply providing accommodation but are attractive, efficient and healthy places in which people can thrive. Amongst other considerations, that means including access for all to green spaces, promoting urban tree management strategies and using nature-based systems to help favourably manage water, microclimates and pollution. At project level, the planning system (and building regulations) should ensure that all new developments, especially housing, are well-designed and incorporate the best available standards of energy efficiency and climate resilience. To progress this, development at all scales should incorporate a proportionate contribution to ensure green infrastructure quality.” #landscapearchitecture #landscapedesign #sustainabledesign #naturebaseddesign #landscapeinstitute

Answering the most frequently asked question, how does a green wall or a living wall help the building apart from just greening? 🍀 Mitigating heat-island effect 🍀 Enhancing air quality 🍀 Improving biodiversity 🍀 Stormwater management 🍀 Community engagement In conclusion, urban greening presents a multifaceted solution, addressing environmental impact, community engagement, and operational efficiency. By integrating green spaces into design, we not only mitigate environmental concerns but also foster healthier, more resilient communities. Let's embrace nature's potential to shape a more sustainable future for our infrastructure. 🌱 #urbangreening #greeninfrastructure #livingwalls #greenwalls

In Port Pirie, a new stormwater management project is using innovative systems to capture and use stormwater for irrigating urban vegetation. This not only conserves water but also supports urban greening efforts, enhancing both environmental and community well-being. Such initiatives are vital in creating resilient and sustainable urban landscapes. How can we expand such sustainable practices to more urban areas? #StormwaterManagement #UrbanPlanning #Sustainability #QuiltyEngineering

A common question on Google...what are Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SuDS)? SuDS are transforming our cities into green havens by managing rainfall sustainably. From green roofs and permeable pavements to rain gardens, these systems reduce flood risks, improve water quality, and create beautiful, functional spaces for everyone to enjoy. SuDS are expected to become mandatory for major new developments in England in 2024, or at the latest in 2025. Find out how SuDS Designs can help you today💧 🔗www.sudsdesigns.co.uk 📧info@sudsdesigns.co.uk #sudsdesigns #sustainableliving #urbandesign #ecofriendly #suds #greeninfrastructure
