Sustainable stormwater management at Fornebu “ from an airport to an industrial and residential area of the city of Oslo, Norway Sustainable stormwater management and green infrastructure in Fornebu, Norway
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.

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.

Potential Use of Runoff Attenuation Features in small Rural Catchments for Flood Mitigation Development of a number of small scale, low cost soft engineered flood reduction schemes, designed to store/attenuate rapid runoff in small rural catchments. Design and implimentation of a network of 35 NWRM measures in a Northumberland catchment. To aid understanding of how features impact on downstream flood hazard. Rural runoff attenuation in the Belford catchment, UK
A framework for managing runoff and pollution in the rural landscape using a Catchment Systems Engineering approach Here a framework for applying a CSE approach to the catchment is shownin a step by step guide to implementing mitigation measures in the Belford Burn catchment. The framework is based around engagement with catchment stakeholders. Rural runoff attenuation in the Belford catchment, UK
