Barriers to integrating sustainable stormwater management in urban environments in Sweden

Author

  • Johanna Sörensen
  • Helena Hanson

Summary, in English

Economic, knowledge-based, legislative, organizational, and political barriers hinder the efficient implementation of sustainable stormwater management in Sweden.

A comprehensive approach involving legislative clarity, improved financial models, enhanced collaboration, and a shift in political priorities towards blue-green infrastructure is needed.

Balancing urban development with urban green spaces remains a significant challenge, requiring strategies for multiple functions of stormwater solutions.
