The growing urbanisation around the world makes it necessary to adapt to the changing world 
in all areas of life. One of the consequences of urban sprawl is climate change, including 
precipitation, which affects everyone's lives. Cities around the world are struggling with 
the effects of floods and periods of drought. For this reason, a Blue-Green Infrastructure 
(BGI) solution has been proposed. Integration of BGI solutions into the urban environment 
is a state-of-the-art solution to support the functioning of sewage networks and combat 
various problems in cities, such as noise and urban heat island. Furthermore, the diversity 
of BGI systems offers environmental, financial, and social benefits that should encourage 
planners and city authorities to implement them in cities.
