This paper presents a theoretical exploration of the economic impacts and sustainability outcomes associated with advanced stormwater management designs. By integrating key concepts such as cost-benefit analysis, economic sustainability, and long-term environmental benefits, the study develops a comprehensive framework for evaluating green infrastructure projects’ economic and ecological viability. The analysis highlights the multifaceted advantages of advanced stormwater management, including improved water quality, ecosystem preservation, climate resilience, and enhanced public health. The findings have significant implications for urban planners, policymakers, and stakeholders, suggesting that green infrastructure should be prioritized in urban development strategies. Furthermore, the paper identifies areas for future research, emphasizing the need for empirical studies on economic benefits, exploration of social equity in stormwater management, and innovation in green infrastructure technologies. This review contributes to the broader discourse on sustainable urban development, offering insights that can guide implementing more resilient and sustainable stormwater management practices.
