Identifying water-related trends, causes, and solutions to =
chronic human and ecosystem health problems in urban areas (e.g., eutrophic=
ation & hypoxia, asthma, diabetes, obesity, loss of species diversity a=
nd types).
(1) Where and what types of green stormwater infrastructu= re (GI) are most beneficial to people and ecosystems, both now and in the f= uture as cities evolve?
(2) What are the tradeoffs among different co-benefits & co-co= sts of GI (e.g., increasing costs and greenhouse gas emissions from constru= ction vs. reducing urban heat islands, flooding, water quality problems, st= ress, obesity, asthma, diabetes, and increasing species diversity)?<= /span>
(3) What are the socio= -political and economic barriers to greening cities and what policies or te= chnologies would help overcome them?
