Since the second half of the 20th century, the consequences of climate change have become increasingly noticeable, particularly in the form of extreme weather events, with floods being the most common, primarily affecting urban areas. This has led to the need for implementing new solutions to adapt cities to such problems. One of the innovative solutions is the use of bluegreen infrastructure, which includes natural and semi-natural elements to manage stormwater flooding, while also helping to revitalize underutilized urban spaces and contributing to the improvement of the quality of these areas. This master’s thesis examines the role of bluegreen infrastructure using the example of the old railway station in the center of Dresden, an alternative and brownfield urban area which is at significant risk for two different types of flooding. The aim of the thesis is to explore the key benefits of these elements in reducing flood risk, their impact on improving environmental quality and revitalizing urban space, and to define the most effective solutions. The work includes an introduction to the topic of BGI, the broader spatial context, detailed analyses, and specific challenges, based on which the project solution is developed. This focuses on the sustainable revitalization of the area, which includes bluegreen elements to enhance flood resilience, as well as creating new, functional, and healthy urban spaces.
