Green Infrastructure & Self-Sufficient Design

Dunedin currently has low use of green infrastructure innovations and self-sufficient design to help manage the effects of urban development on the environment. These innovations can be used to help reduce reliance on public service networks and provide other benefits. These include reducing stormwater runoff, reducing the need for heating and cooling of buildings, and reducing demand for electricity, while improving biodiversity, making places more attractive, and providing for urban food production.
