The Blue Green Dream Project works to enhance the synergy of urban blue (water) and green (vegetated) systems and provide effective, multifunctional Blue Green solutions to support urban adaptation to future climatic changes. It is a project under the European Institute of Innovation and Technology's Climate Knowledge and Innovation Community.

Spatial planning has key role in addressing the causes of climate change. Blue Green Solutions enhance the synergy of urban blue (urban water infrastructure) and urban vegetated areas (green systems) by providing multiple benefits to urban ecosystem services and functions.
Ecosystem based sustainable urban planning can help achieving:
•Increased amenity values and urban health•Mitigation of extreme UHI (Thermal effect)•Sustainable Water management ( water demand, water harvesting, sustainable drainage
system*)•Increase resilience to droughts •Reduction of energy demands (energy-efficiency of building, demand for heating and
cooling) •Reduction of water, air and noise pollution •Enhancement of biodiversity and quality of life•Enabling sustainable urban food production
Additionally they have significant socioeconomic benefits such as: job creation, reduction of antisocial behaviour and crime. BG solutions are thus considered essential in planning for both new urban developments and retrofitting of the existing urban fabric.

This principal aim will be disaggregated into the following detailed objectives:
• Extensive literature survey in order to identify knowledge gaps and research challenges
• Development a new integrated model of urban planning with Glue-Green Dream technologies such as flood risk management, microclimate and bioclimatic architecture based on parametric design.
• Selection of demo/test location and monitoring of processes to enable quantification of eco-system services performance indicators
• Valuation of interactions of urban biodiversity and ecosystem services with urban B&G infrastructure. Experimentally verify the impact of integrated Blue-Green solutions on the urban ecosystem services
