Learning Objectives:
- Learn about the specific opportunities and challenges for stormwater innovation on campuses in urban contexts.
- Discuss how contemporary thinking about stormwater management and BMPs challenges traditional civil engineering approaches.
- Learn from case studies of three universities leading stormwater innovation in their respective cities: Tulane (New Orleans), Georgetown (Washington, D.C.), and the University of Hawaii at Mānoa (Honolulu).
- Understand how the regulatory environment can be leveraged to facilitate the implementation of landscapes with both programmatic and stormwater functions.
