Implementing Green Infrastructure in the Abdali Bridge Area


Name Abdali Bridge
Country Jordan
City Amman
Authors Maroula Shami
Bridge during Rain[1]

Rationale: Why is this case interesting?

Due to climate change, Jordan has been experiencing a change in rainfall patterns. The current grey infrastructure is not capable of draining the storm-water properly as it has not been designed to receive such large quantities. Also, the fact that it is not maintained properly further amplifies the problem. It is therefore worth considering the introduction of a layer of green infrastructure which would assist the existing grey infrastructure to avoid flooding in the future.
