Description:
This study presents a literature review on the design strategies of Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) and associated ecosystem services for flood management in Lagos, Nigeria. It also investigates the perceptions of built environment professionals toward Nature-based Solutions for flood management in the study area. Analysis of survey revealed that there is a general low level of awareness in the practice of NbS and SUDS in Lagos State, and that the greatest barrier for implementing SUDS is the lack of awareness of the value and multiple benefits of NbS.
