Urban green infrastructure and its role in sustainable cities
In the contemporary context of rapid urbanization and the escalating challenges posed by climate change, the concept of Urban Green Infrastructure (UGI) has emerged as a pivotal paradigm in the pursuit of sustainable urban development (Rayan et al., 2022). Cities worldwide are grappling with issues such as air and water pollution, rising temperatures, and the depletion of natural resources. In response to these challenges, the integration of green spaces, trees, and environmentally conscious design within urban landscapes has gained increasing attention as a comprehensive strategy to enhance the sustainability of cities.
This comprehensive review seeks to delve into the intricate tapestry of Urban Green Infrastructure and elucidate its multifaceted role in fostering sustainability within urban environments. UGI encompasses a diverse array of elements, ranging from parks and green roofs to urban forests and permeable surfaces. Understanding the synergistic contributions of these components is essential for formulating effective strategies that address the environmental, social, and economic dimensions of urban sustainability (Sharifi, 2021).
As urban populations burgeon and the consequences of climate change become more pronounced, the importance of UGI becomes even more apparent. Beyond its ecological significance, UGI is recognized for its positive impact on social well-being, offering spaces for recreation, relaxation, and community engagement. Moreover, UGI contributes to economic resilience by enhancing property values, reducing energy consumption, and fostering a more vibrant local economy. Through a systematic study of successful case studies, best practices, and potential challenges, this review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the role that Urban Green Infrastructure plays in shaping sustainable
cities. By doing so, it seeks to inform urban planners, policymakers, and researchers about the transformative potential of UGI, offering insights that can guide the development of resilient, green, and sustainable urban landscapes (Ramyaret al., 2021)
