How Might We develop a feasible urbanisation strategy that prioritises green infrastructure and encourages community participation to enhance flood resilience in Auckland's urban areas?

I have created a multifaceted parkspace that integrates a green roof atop a central building, which features innovative rotating garden walls for aesthetic appeal, and a large glass tube, which showcases the drainage of excess water and creates an interactive experience for visitors. The drainage deck serves as the heart of the park, and is designed to manage stormwater effectively while providing essential gathering spaces surrounded by small field areas for recreational activities. The perimeter is lined with vegetative filter strips, reinforcing the park's role in natural water filtration and wildlife habitat creation. Although the drainage system exemplified in this park is hypothetical, it serves as a conceptual tool to illustrate the potential benefits of such infrastructure if properly developed. The rationale for incorporating an underground tank storage system stems from its ability to alleviate overflow issues by capturing excess rainwater during storms, which can then be gradually released into the drainage system or used for irrigation within the park, thereby promoting sustainable water use. Furthermore, I have included it to show what it could look like if co-designed with an engineer. This thoughtful integration of green infrastructure not only enhances the park's ecological function but also improves urban aesthetics, engaging the community and promoting environmental stewardship.
