Abstract
Denne afhandling undersøger tre casestudier af bæredygtige urbane drænsystemer (Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems, SUDS), naturbaserede løsninger der håndterer regnvand dér, hvor det falder, i vejmiljøer. Afhandlingen undersøger, hvordan vandregimet (de regler, praksisser og teknologier, der styrer håndtering af regnvand) er under forandring for regnvand på veje. Ved at følge, hvordan SUDS bliver implementeret, viser afhandlingen, hvordan processen både kan understøtte denne omstilling og udfordre det etablerede vejregime (de normer og standarder, der præger vejudformning og -drift). I et bredere perspektiv peger resultaterne på, hvordan vejbaserede SUDS kan bidrage til en bredere bæredygtig omstilling.
This thesis examines three case studies of Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS), nature-based solutions that manage rainwater where it falls in road settings. It investigates how the water regime (the rules, practices and technologies for handling stormwater) is changing for stormwater on roads. By tracing how SUDS are implemented, the thesis shows how the process can both enable this transition and challenge the established road regime (the norms and standards that shape road design and management). In a broader perspective, the findings indicate how road-based SUDS can support a wider sustainability transition.
