Green Infrastructure Planning
Green infrastructure planning involves the integration of natural systems and processes into urban and rural planning to manage water, air, and soil quality, reduce the urban heat island effect, and enhance biodiversity. It includes the strategic placement of green spaces, such as parks, wetlands, and green roofs, to provide ecosystem services, improve quality of life, and promote sustainable development. The goal of green infrastructure planning is to create resilient and sustainable communities that are better equipped to address environmental challenges and adapt to climate change.
