From the Pacific Northwest to the Southeast: interpretations of an urban stormwater retrofit

Stormwater management in the context of urban streets is on the cusp of major change. Innovative multidisciplinary designs pioneered in the Pacific Northwest are paving the way for more environmentally and socially responsive stormwater design. This thesis examines the practicality of incorporating the principles guiding such designs into the environmental and urban fabrics of the Southeast, determining limiting factors as well as possible design modifications.
