Green infrastructure design manual for Mexican Municipalities (Spanish)

Download Report

Green Infrastructure is a set of urban design elements that incorporate vegetation systems and stormwater management. This manual was developed to support Mexican municipalities in efforts to create public spaces using these elements. The production of this manual is part of a second phase of BECC and NADB's work to facilitate the implementation of Green Infrastructure in the border region. In this second stage we have supported the development of regulations incorporating elements of Green Infrastructure, the development of training workshops and the implementation of pilot interventions in border municipalities that have an interest in incorporating these techniques in their development projects.
