Synergies and Trade-offs in Urban Green Infrastructure
Urban Green Infrastructure (UGI) is increasingly integrated into urban planning to tackle climate change, biodiversity loss, and public health challenges. Its multifunctionality and ability to deliver multiple Ecosystem Services (ESs) make UGI a "win-win" nature-based solution. Yet, focusing only …

Rethinking Green Infrastructure on the University of Minnesota Campus
As water events become more extreme and more common, we are having to find innovative ways to deal with this increase. In urban areas, current water systems that were designed to last around 100 years are failing well before originally planned due to erosion from runoff sediment. With all this …

A case study: Brown-green infrastructure in a semi-arid
“Green infrastructure is defined as an interconnected network of “green” space that conserves natural ecosystem values and functions and provides related benefits to both human and non-human (Fauna & Flora) population. Green Infrastructure is therefore a new ecological (framework) model needed for …

Implications of transitioning to green infrastructure: a quantitative sustainability assessment of stormwater management
The implementation of green infrastructure as a means to reduce stormwater through infiltration, evapotranspiration, and reuse is occurring in municipalities to reduce wastewater treatment loads (in the case of combined sewer systems) and pollution of surface water. Although green infrastructure …
