| Title | Embracing the Rain: Overcoming Barriers to Sustainable Drainage Systems in Greater Manchester through Socio-Technical Transition Theory |
| Summary | This study explores Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) in Greater Manchester (GM), focusing on overcoming existing barriers to their implementation through the lens of Socio-Technical Transition Theory (STTT). This theory allows for the analysis of the regulatory, institutional, socio-cultural, and economic challenges involved in the broader adoption of SuDS. Through qualitative research involving case studies across three boroughs of GM, policy document analyses at different governmental levels and interviews with key stakeholders, this dissertation identifies the need for clearer regulatory frameworks, enhanced stakeholder and public engagement, better feedback mechanisms and financial incentives to promote SuDS adoption. The study concludes with strategic recommendations for policymakers to create a more supportive environment for SuDS in GM’s boroughs, which can be generalised beyond GM. |
