29 A sustainable urban infrastructure system ought to be functional now and adaptive in uncertain
30 future. It means the infrastructures not only need to be reliable subjected to the standard loading,
M
31 but also are able to minimize the magnitude and duration of failures under exceptional conditions.
32 Resilience is a concept that can describe the aforementioned requirement on the urban
D
33 infrastructure perfectly and has become an important goal for the system. Furthermore, resilience

36 due to natural or anthropogenic causes (Peterson et al., 1998; Walker et al., 2004). Generally,
C
37 engineering resilience gauges the displacement magnitude of system’s behavior away from
AC
38 designed function and the recovery speed of system’s behavior under the shocks or disturbances
39 (Francis and Bekera, 2014; Henry and Ramirez-Marquez, 2012). The idea of engineering
40 resilience has been used in many infrastructure systems to characterize the ability to reduce the
41 magnitude and/or duration of negative impacts of the disruptive events, such as power
42 transmission grid, road network, and internet etc. (Francis and Bekera, 2014; Henry and

44 2015), which has transferred the principle of the planning and building of urban infrastructures
45 from fail-safe to safe-to-fail (Ahern, 2011; Butler et al., 2014). In particular, there is a growing
PT
47 urbanization and climate change (McDaniels et al., 2008; Ouyang et al., 2012; Hossain et al.,

49 Urban drainage systems (UDSs) are critical and complex infrastructures in cites.

50 Notwithstanding all efforts made in improving the sustainability of UDSs on the basis of
51 integrated planning and management, UDSs are subject to the disturbances resulting from both

AN
53 (Semadeni-Davies et al., 2008; Yazdanfar and Sharma, 2015; Zhou, 2014) It has been widely
54 acknowledged that climate change and urbanization could trigger more unexpected system
M
55 failures and introduce more external uncertainties implied on the system (Zhou, 2014; Vojinovic
D
56 et al., 2014; Notaro et al, 2015). Changes in climatic conditions, such as the increase of rainfall
TE
57 intensities, shifts of precipitation patterns, and more extreme weather events, result in that UDSs
58 expose to heavy rainfall strikes in high frequency (Willems et al., 2012; Grum et al., 2006;
EP
59 Karamouz et al., 2011), which could lead to a significant augmentation in the frequency and
60 magnitude of urban flooding. Intensified aggregation of the population and economic activities

61 due to urbanization also enlarge the burden on the existing UDSs in terms of the quantity of

62 wastewater and urban runoff, the amount of nutrients, and the variety of pollutants as well (Hatt
63 et al., 2004; Huong and Pathirana, 2013), which would exert substantial influence on the quality

PT
70 urbanization and thus the promotion of the sustainability of UDSs (Liu et al., 2014; Liu et al.,
RI
71 2015; Pugh et al., 2012). Green infrastructures are vegetated or sustainability-based practices,
72 such as green roofs, porous pavements, bio-retention cells, and swales, which can reduce the
SC
73 amount of stormwater entering UDSs (Tavakol-Davani et al., 2015). On the contrary, gray
74 infrastructures are composed predominantly of concrete and steel (thus the gray part of the term)
75
U
and installed as part of the UDS (Tavakol-Davani et al., 2015). Plenty of studies have evaluated
AN
76 the roles of various types of green infrastructures on storm water management as well as carbon
77 emission control (Liu et al., 2014; Liu et al., 2015; Pugh et al., 2012) and compared the
M
78 performances with those of grey infrastructures. Cohen et al. (2011) carried out a life-cycle cost
D
79 analysis comparing a green (rain gardens) and gray (tunnels) infrastructure combination to a
TE
80 gray-only option to control combined sewer overflow. Their results suggested that the green/gray
81 combined alternative turned out to be more cost-effective than the gray-only option. Similar
EP
82 findings were represented the study by Wang et al. (2013). Casal-Campos et al. (2015) examined
83 the robustness of green and gray drainage strategies in the future using a regret-based approach
C
84 and suggest that the combination of green and gray strategies may still offer further potential for
AC
85 robustness. However, the relationship between the resilience and UDS configuration in which
86 green and grey infrastructures are implemented is still obscure. And thus the subsequent
87 optimization of the UDS configuration considering the resilience cost is still insufficiently
88 discussed.

89 Over the past two decades, although more attentions have been paid to the resilience in UDSs
90 (Mugume et al., 2014; Mugume et al., 2015; Golz et al., 2015; Mugume et al., 2015), the
91 quantitative definition of this conenpt is still open to debate (Meerow et al., 2016). When climate
92 change and urbanization is concerned, most studies are limited to the flooding resilience when

94 Moreover, two groups of methods are reported for the assessment. A comprehensive indicator
95 system established on the basis of a set of measurable surrogate attributes is frequently used. De
SC
96 Bruijn uses reaction threshold, amplitude, graduality, and recovery rate to give an overview of
97 the system’s reaction to flooding and determine the flooding resilience (De Bruijn, 2004).

Mugume et al. emphasize the flexibility and redundancy, and use flood volume and nodal flood

99 duration to examine the impact of pipe failure on two surrogate attributes of resilience (Mugume
100 et al., 2015). Instead of this multi-attribute-based approach, Mugume et al. value the flooding

102 of flooding, based on the modeling of the change process of UDSs’ hydraulic characteristics and

103 utility performance under the flooding condition (Mugume et al., 2014; Mugume et al., 2015).
104 Although the previously reported methods are verified to be feasible for the resilience

112 guard against urban flooding only. Comprehensive resistant capacity of UDSs should be
113 considered in the resilience quantification, especially when the comparison between green and
114 grey infrastructure is conducted. Moreover, the performance of the whole UDSs is a nonlinear
115 superposition of contributions of all system components including nodes, conduits, pumps, and
PT
116 etc. and highly dependent on the complicated topology structure of the system. Due to the

117 considerable spatial variability of resilience in the UDSs, a quantification method that could

134 2015). Different from the previous researches, with consideration of the system functionality i.e.
135 maintaining the security of water ecology and human society, the UDSs performance is
136 examined from three aspects besides the urban flooding control. In this proposed formulation of
137 UDSs resilience index (Res, shown in Eq 1), the loss of UDSs functionality caused by the urban

138 flooding, combined sewer overflow (CSO), and shock loading to the WWTPs downstream are

139 combined, which represents the social severity (Sev-s), environmental severity (Sev-e), and
140 technological severity (Sev-t), respectively. The advantage is obvious in that involving manifold

227 consequence of urbanization, the impervious area would increase. On the basis of the trend

228 analysis for local social-economic development, four urbanization scenarios are designed, in

247 The resilience of the case system is calculated under each future scenario (shown in Fig. 1)
PT
248 and the baseline value (status quo with current climate and land use) of the system resilience is
249 0.67. The different degrees of urbanization and climate change would cause different system
RI
250 responses and subsequent resilience changes. Both intensified rainfall accelerated by climate
SC
251 change and growing impervious surface due to urbanization would reduce the system resilience.
252 Only considering the climate change, 20% increase of rainfall intensity (i.e. scenario C20) would

AN
254 urbanization, 20% increase of impervious area (i.e. scenario U20) would result in 13% reduction
255 of system resilience. Comparing these two future uncertain disturbances to the system, the effect
M
256 of climate change seems to be more serious, because the climate change gives rise to larger
257 social severity and more rapid growth of environmental severity for UDS (for more information

TE
259 watershed conditions and climate. For the collaborative consequences of urbanization and

260 climate change, the reduction of system resilience would be aggravated, such as, 20% increase of

270 contribution for the recession of system resilience. In the middle stage (about 300-350 min after
271 rainfall begins), SevS and SevT tend to be stable in turn. SevE sustains the growth, but the speed of

274 than the other two. It means that in this case, the environmental severity is the crux for the

AC
286 as a proportion of the system resilience increase, compared with including and excluding this

321 Green infrastructures improve the performance of urban drainage system in multiple ways,

323 and peak flow. Therefore, they can cut down the volume of urban flooding, CSOs, and WWTP

325 20% of the total area built as green roofs can respectively reduce 38%, 33%, and 28% of SevE,
326 SevS, and SevT on average under future scenarios; 20% permeable pavement can reduce 39%,
C
327 41%, and 30% of SevE, SevS, and SevT. Different from the green infrastructures, a storage tank is
AC
328 constructed at the outfall of drainage system and the main function is to intercept CSOs. Hence,
329 storage tank mainly reduces SevE to improve the system resilience. Facing different future
330 scenarios, building 4 storage tanks (i.e. 52800m3 storage volume) can lessen 30% of SevE (Fig. 5).
331 Due to the complicated spatial topological structure of the UDS, the operation of storage tanks
332 would influence the hydraulic process of the whole system, which results in a slight reduction of

333 urban flooding in this case. Shown in Fig. 5, 4 storage tanks also can lead to a decrease of SevS
334 by no more than 15%. Furthermore, comparing Fig. 5 (a), (b), (c) and (d), green roof and
335 permeable pavement can more effectively shorten the system failure duration (i.e. less time to
336 reach the turning point) and better adapt to the uncertain disturbance of the future (i.e. smaller

344 green and grey infrastructure configuration under a future scenario (ResCiUi+G/S) to the baseline
345 resilience (ResC0U0) is used to evaluate the effectiveness of the corresponding measure. If the

346 ratio is equal to 1, it means that the green roof, the permeable pavement, or the storage tank can

347 offset the influence of urbanization and climate change in the future. If the ratio is larger than 1,
348 it indicates the controls not only can remove the negative effects, but also can improve the

362 3.4 Trade-off between resilience enhancement and cost
363 As shown in Fig. 7, for the relationship between the system resilience and cost, the green roof
U
364 and the permeable pavement perform approximately linearly. With the increase of the
AN
365 construction area/cost of green roofs and permeable pavements, the system resilience would be
366 enhanced. Similarly, the more storage volume i.e. the more cost, the higher system resilience.
M
367 But for the storage tank control, there is a nearly logarithmic relationship between the system
368 resilience and cost. In this case area, if only the grey facility is selected, the improvement of
D
369 system resilience would eventually enter a stagnant phase after two storage tanks are introduced
TE
370 into the system. More storage volumes are not able to boost higher system resilience and the
EP
371 option of two tanks is the most cost-effective for enhancing the resilience in the case system.
372 Comparing green infrastructures with CSOs storage tank, the storage tank is even more cost-
C
373 effective with requirements of a small resilience increment, no more than 15%. If there is a
AC
374 higher demand of the resilience restoration, the green infrastructures have to be used and show a
375 dominant role because of the existence of the upper limit of storage tank control. Considering the
376 performance of resilience enhancement and corresponding cost, the efficacy of three storage
377 tanks is equivalent to it of 10% of the total area built as green roofs.

381 describes the performances and costs of the combined controls. Considering the future
382 uncertainties, 20% of the total area built as green roofs or permeable pavements and 4 storage
PT
383 tanks can realize nearly 50% of system resilience increase on average. Since the green
RI
384 infrastructures are the dominant measures for the resilience enhancement in the case area, the
385 system resilience will be linearly improved with the increase of the facility cost. The input of 125
SC
386 million US dollars would be able to improve 10% of system resilience in the case area.
387 As shown in Fig. 8(a), zone I is an area with the low improvement of the system resilience by
388
U
green and grey infrastructures. In this zone, compared with the baseline scenario, the largest
AN
389 improvement is 12%, and one single type of control can satisfy the requirement. The comparison
390 between green and grey options shows that the CSOs storage tank has a significant advantage.
M
391 Zone II is an area of the medium improvement, and the range of resilience increase is 12~30%.
D
392 In this zone, the improvement can be achieved both by individual control and combined control.
TE
393 Compared with two types of controls, for the similar resilience improvement, the combined
394 measures are more flexible and dominant. For example, although either 3 storage tanks (G0S3)
EP
395 or 10% of roofs built as green roofs (G10S0) can enhance the system resilience nearly by 15%,
396 the combination of 5% of roofs built as green roofs and 1 storage tank (G5S1) can achieve the
C
397 same effect with slightly lower cost. Zone III is a high improvement area, where the
AC
398 improvement is higher than 30%. In this zone, only combined controls can meet the
399 enhancement demand of system resilience. Considering the construction feasibility, maximal
400 application of green roofs and storage tanks can increase 50% of system resilience over baseline
401 scenario. Similar regularity of the three zones can also be found in Fig. 8(b) for permeable
402 pavement instead of green roof. The dots located on the upper envelope in Fig. 8(a) and 8(b)

PT
429 Finding the response solutions with high adaptability to a variety of future uncertain changes
430 and then preparing nowadays is crucial for the establishment of a sustainable urban drainage
RI
431 system. The present work contributes to the advance of sustainability assessment for urban
SC
432 drainage system, focusing on the capability in resilience enhancement of green and grey
433 infrastructure options in the face of potential system disturbance induced by urbanization and

climate change. The resilience concept used here highlights how the urban drainage system
AN
435 which was perceived as a robust system could now be judged as vulnerable, because of
436 indeterminate climate change, uncertain urbanization, and anticipated sustainable development in
M
438 The definition of resilience in urban drainage system presented in this paper considers the
TE
439 spatial and temporal dynamic process of system functionality loss and integrates the impacts of
440 the system on the quality of receiving water, urban public security, and the stability of WWTPs
EP
441 operation. This new formulation of resilience index allows a broader and richer understanding of
442 system resilience and the trade-offs for social, ecological, and infrastructure resilience. It is
C
443 useful in identifying the vulnerable spots in the system quickly. It also permits to recognize
AC
444 where decisions may be particularly relevant. The angle at which we stand and the investigations
445 we made in this paper would contribute to the comprehensive understanding on the UDSs
446 resilience.
447 Although both green and grey infrastructures could improve the system resilience, green ones
448 would have higher adaptability and resistibility to deal with the uncertain future, leading to
20
ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT
449 higher system sustainability. This benefit verified in this study from green infrastructure when
450 compared with grey controls seems to agree with those reported in the literatures (Cohen et al.,
451 2011; Wang et al., 2013; Tavakol-Davani et al., 2015). The performance reported for the storage
452 tank also coincides with studies (Tavakol-Davani et al., 2015; Fu et al., 2009), and the tanks
PT
453 improve the system resilience by intercepting CSO spills. Taking the cost into account, green and
RI
454 grey infrastructures have their own advantages when meeting different goals of resilience
455 improvement. Nevertheless, the paper results suggest that a combination of green and grey
SC
456 infrastructures into a “hybrid” control may have a mutually beneficial effect and offer further

In general, there is a game relationship among the system configuration in terms of green and
AN
459 grey infrastructure selection, the system resilience, and the additional cost for resilience
460 enhancement, which comes from the complexity on how a sustainable system should be. This
