Purpose: The expected increase in precipitation puts greater pressure on how cities should handle surface water. Furthermore, increased population growth, urbanization and densification entail challenges in creating and maintaining local communities that are perceived as safe and good. In light of this, there is a need to develop new measures and strategies that contribute to creating sustainable urban and residential development. In this thesis, we investigate the significance of blue-green structures for solving these challenges. The problem of the thesis is to investigate what opportunities and challenges actors face in the use of blue-green structures to contribute to a more sustainable urban and residential development. Method: To answer the overall problem and the various sub-questions a qualitative design with an abductive approach has been chosen. The survey has collected empirical data through case studies and qualitative interviews of actors from both the public and private sectors.
