Since 2014, and the start of the New-type Urbanization Plan (NUP),
we see a turning point in the sustainability agenda of China. One
of the main indicators is greening cities and the built
environments, which will be covered holistically in this edited
book. From the perspective of green infrastructure, in particular,
the book approaches key areas of 'forest city development', 'sponge
city program', 'green roofing', 'nature-based solutions', 'urban
farming', 'eco-city development', etc. This is the first time that
such important areas of research come together under the
perspective of green Infrastructure. The results would be
beneficial to policymakers, practitioners, and researchers in China
and across the globe. The comprehensive set of findings from this
book will benefit other countries, as we aim to highlight some of
the best practices of the current age. The main aim of the book is
to put together an excellent group of scholars and practitioners
from the field, focusing on the topic of 'Green Infrastructure in
Chinese Cities'. In doing so, we aim to cover some of the key 'best
practices' for sustainable urbanism. Divided into four parts, the
book covers four key areas of (1) Policy Interventions, (2)
Planning Innovation, (3) Design Solutions, and (4) Technical
Integration. In doing so, we cover an array of best practices
related to green infrastructures of various types and their impacts
on cities and communities in China. We expect the book to be a
valuable resource for researchers in the areas of sustainability,
urbanism, urban planning, urban geography, urban design,
geographical sciences, environmental sciences, landscape
architecture, and urban ecology. The book covers essential factors
such as policy, regulations, and programs (in Part 1), planning
paradigms and their impacts on urban development (in Part 2),
integrated design solutions that suggest sustainable urbanization
progression (in Part 3), and technical knowledge that would be
utilized for the future development of green infrastructure
practices in China and beyond. Lastly, this edited book aims to
provide a collaborative opportunity for experts and researchers of
the field, who could contribute to the future pathways of
sustainable urbanization of China. Lessons extracted from these
contributions could be utilized for other contexts, which will
benefit a wider group of stakeholders.
