Scenarios about 'green infrastructure'
Green infrastructure refers to strategically planned networks of natural and semi-natural areas designed to deliver environmental, economic, and social benefits while building resilience to climate change. These systems include urban forests, parks, green roofs, rain gardens, and bioswales that manage stormwater, reduce urban heat islands, improve air quality, and enhance biodiversity. Throughout history, the integration of nature into built environments has evolved from ancient urban gardens to modern sustainable development approaches that reconnect cities with ecological processes.
