| From airport to sustainable community sustainable Fornebu | The refurbishment of the 340-hectare Fornebu site – Oslo’s airport until 1998 – is one of Norway’s largest and most ambitious development projects, including new housing, businesses, recreation and conservation projects. One of two landowners at Fornebu, the Norwegian state, and its organ for construction and land development, Statsbygg (Norwegian Directorate of Public Construction and Property), have been heavily involved in work on Fornebu since 1995. | Sustainable stormwater management and green infrastructure in Fornebu, Norway |
| The aesthetic performance of urban landscape-based stormwater management systems: a review of twenty projects in northern Europe | Driven by the challenge of adapting cities to climate change, stormwater management is high on the agenda of landscape architectural practice. This article aims to set light on associated landscape changes, presenting and evaluating twenty Northern European stormwater management projects with a specific view on their aesthetic performance. Five key parameters form the base for the analysis. These include 1) terrain changes, 2) construction and maintenance, 3) site history and context, 4) water dynamics and dimensioning, and 5) stormwater accentuation. Observations are illustrated by exemplary photos, arranged and discussed among varying cases. The study indicates that visible stormwater management enhances the experience of local terrain. However, stormwater management is weak as a main design feature and staging water ‘at any cost’ results in unsettled designs. Successful projects include only a few key water features and focus on programmatic interaction within the specific context. | Sustainable stormwater management and green infrastructure in Fornebu, Norway |

| Bosco Limite | Land use change of a maize-cutivated area, with the costitution of a lowland forest of 25000 square meters. The aim is to create an ecological corridor for the neighboring Nature 2000 Area, with wetlands. Moreover, Bosco Limite is a sperimental project for the groundwater recharge. | Reforestation in Veneto, Italy |

| www.adottaunterrazzamento.org | The project's aim is to recover the traditional terraces, abandoned and in state of instability, recovering the agricultural potential of the area and improving its hydrogeological stability. | Traditional terracing in Veneto, Italy |
| I suoli dei versanti terrazzati di Valstagna | Survey regarding the soils of the study area, with the comparation of terraced and non-terraced area in order to identify the differences in phisical and chemical terms. | Traditional terracing in Veneto, Italy |
| Climate Proofing Housing Landscapes | This is the website describing elements of the project urban climate proofing, a project in inner London, a Life+ project (2013-2016) who developed an integrated approach to climate adaptation in urban areas by undertaking a package of affordable, light-engineering climate change adaptation measures based around the retrofitting of blue and green infrastructure.
