Abstract

Green infrastructure integrates natural systems into urban planning to enhance sustainability and resilience in cities. This approach leverages natural processes to manage environmental challenges such as stormwater, air quality, and heat islands while promoting biodiversity and human well-being. This paper explores the principles and practices of green infrastructure, highlighting successful case studies and emerging trends. By examining various design strategies and their impacts on urban environments, this study underscores the role of green infrastructure in achieving sustainable urban development and mitigating the effects of climate change.
