Professor Cedo Maksimovic Professor at Imperial College London, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and at the Faculty of Civil Engineering in Belgrade, Department of Water and Environmental Engineering (Applied Fluid Mechanics, Urban Water Systems). Supervision of PhD and MSc students.
Currently supervising 8 PhD and 9 MSc students at Imperial College London. The Blue Green Dream project – run by Climate-KIC from Imperial College London – brings together urban planners, landscape architects and water experts from across Europe, to improve urban adaptation to intense rainfall and increased temperatures by better integrating water and vegetated infrastructures. Advanced research in interactions of urban water systems with the environment (from the concept to application).
Recent deliverables: advanced urban pluvial flood modelling and management and application of the advanced diagnostic, monitoring (including wireless technology) and management of urban environmental systems. Consultancy (including project management) in complex water and environmental project: Water supply, sanitation, storm drainage, flood management, environmental remediation / mitigation, urban ground water systems.
Chief advisor to UNESCO IHP programme on Urban Water Management (www.unecso.org) Editor-in-Chief, Urban Water Journal (www.urbanwaetr.net) & Urban Water Series of Books Capacity building at national, regional, professional and corporate levels.

At present GI is introduced after the concept design (as a possibility and a strategy) and seriously considered in the Detailed design. Problem with this is following: If we didn’t set the requirements (1. preparations) and there is no regulations to use it then developers/investors/clients plus Architects and Planners are not forced to us eGI.. They will use GI to meet minimum of regulations or for decoration only. And if it is not in the concept design (on top of the planning permit is issued) it will never find its place in the concept design. Even if we want to add it, it will be either too late or not financially viable.
What we need to do is to introduce the specialist and “GI need” as earlier as possible. The best way to do that is to start with the preparation (Strategies and Policies) to set up the need for the GI.
Preparation –– Defining need
Concept design – From this stage, specialists have to be deeply involved so the overall solution can be provided. They provide concept for maximising synergistic effects arising from use of a combination of GI tailored to the site.
Designed design: use of powerful software tools and mdoels to measure and quantify the impact that new build/ retrofitting of GI will have on the local environment and situation post-construction. Planning for maintenance and life cycle management is essential.
