Increasing a city’s resilience against climate change is one of the major concerns of today. Sustainable stormwater management, using Green Infrastructure units (GI) integrated with an urban area, has proved to be effective in flooding control and to offer extra benefits encompassing groundwater recharge, stormwater treatment, mitigation of air pollution, and an urban micro-climate. Moreover, GI brings cultural benefits for the urban population. However, the “grey” solutions are still popular and widely accepted. This paper presents three conceptions of the revitalisation of a part of campus of the Gdansk University of Technology with different approaches to stormwater management. The first approach (“blue-grey”) is purely based on an architect’s vision, and has some negative aspects from the environmental point of view. The second approach (“blue-grey-green”) is a modification of the previous one, in an attempt to introduce green elements and to obtain more ecosystem services. The third conception (“blue-green”) is fundamentally different, as it relies on GI elements and attempts to respond to the needs reported by the local community of students and university employees accordingly to opinion polls that were conducted. The three solutions are discussed in terms of water sensibility, aesthetics, functionality, usability, and public perception.
