Climate change and poor flood risk management (FRM) are causing flood in many cities of the world. There are various solutions to avoid the chance of a flood occurring in the future, one of the architectural solutions is the use of ‘blue-green infrastructure’(BGI). BGI is planning of urban areas with such elements providing flood protection, improved water & air quality, enhance resilience to climate change, increased space for communities. This paper identifies the basic causes of flood, small-scale solutions, such as green roofs, rain gardens, and permeable pavement, all of which aim to retain as much stormwater locally as possible and different methods and materials for BGI to avoid the chance of flood in future. The study focuses on the two main solutions i.e., building scale BGI solution and neighbourhood scale BGI solution. One building can also decrease the chances of flood by implementing vegetated roofs, swimming pools, external green facades, and internal greenery. Within the building, rainwater can be stored, recycled, cleaned, and additionally infiltrated. Neighbourhood is the most important factor to avoid a flood. Within a neighbourhood, the space between buildings can be used to decrease the level of runoff by implementing vegetated water bodies and urban gardens, as well as tree-lined avenues.
