Green Infrastructure

Greening Cities

This report is a review of the published literature available on green infrastructure (GI) and GI developments. The authors have identified procedures, functions and benefits to establish the ways in which GI may be utilised to enhance liveability of urban environments. A broad range of GI practices have been reviewed, highlighting the ecosystem services provided by each and the state of current research concerning each. The GI assets and procedures reviewed at the macro scale include nature reserves, parks and wetlands; and at the micro scale, living roofs, green walls, green streets, permeable paving, rain gardens, bioswales and ponds.
