Cities are facing the consequences of climate change, including higher summer temperatures and increased frequency of intense precipitation, leading to flooding issues due to impermeable surfaces. The lack of green spaces causes extreme temperatures and a decrease in biodiversity, which is modest in urban areas. Consequently, recent years have seen the introduction of approaches based on mimicking natural processes, referred to as blue-green infrastructure. These are designed areas that enable water retention and purification, contribute to increased biodiversity, and positively impact quality of life. This article presents the possibilities for implementing blue-green infrastructure in Maribor, based previously executed projects.Mesta se soočajo s posledicami podnebnih sprememb, vključno z višjimi poletnimi temperaturami in večjo pogostostjo intenzivnejših padavin, kar povzroča težave s poplavami zaradi neprepustnih površin. Pomanjkanje zelenih površin povzroča ekstremne temperature in manjšanje biodiverzitete, ki je v urbanih območjih skromna. Zato se v zadnjih letih uvajajo pristopi, ki temeljijo na posnemanju naravnih procesov in jih imenujemo modro-zelena infrastruktura. To so urejene površine, ki omogočajo zadrževaje in čiščenje vode, prispevajo k večji biodiverziteti in pozitivno vplivajo na kakovost bivanja. V prispevku so prikazane možnosti uporabe modro-zelene infrastrukture v Mariboru na osnovi predhodno izvedenih projektov
