Urban Climate Resilience
Urban climate resilience is essential for our built environments to withstand and adapt to the growing impacts of climate change, such as extreme heat, flooding, and storms. Building resilience into new housing developments ensures the safety, health, and sustainability of urban communities while supporting economic stability and environmental protection.

Climate change in the UK
The UKCP18 data suggests future increases in the intensity of heavy summer rainfall events. For urban areas particularly, this will impact on the frequency and severity of surface water flooding
Building resilience
Wavin is working towards a blue green approach to circular water management to make our built environments more climate resilient
Flood prevention - managing the peaks and lows of surface water more intelligently
Water reuse –reusing rainwater or grey water where-ever possible
Biodiversity – building corridors for wildlife in our built environments
Reduced Heat Islands – utlising water and vegetation to cool our urban environments
