The Blue-Green Cities Research Project (2013-2016) was funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), led by Colin Thorne at the University of Nottingham.

The project was highly interdisciplinary, utilising the skills of academics specialising in flood inundation modelling, computation fluid dynamics, sediment and debris processes, river restoration and habitats, urban drainage infrastructure, environmental economics, uncertainty, flood risk management, and stakeholder engagement. 

Blue-Green Cities was one of the three research consortia funded at the April 2012 EPSRC ‘Sand Pit’ and formed part of the EPSRC Flood Risk Management Network (FCERM.Net).
