Green infrastructure integrates human and natural systems through a
network of corridors and spaces in mixed-use and urban settings.
Austin takes a broad look at green infrastructure concepts,
research and case studies to provide the student and professional
with processes, criteria and data to support planning, design and
implementation. Key topics of the book include: The benefits of
green infrastructure as a conservation and planning tool
Requirements of ecosystem health Green infrastructure ecosystem
services that contribute to human physical and psychological health
Planning processes leading to robust green infrastructure networks
Design of green infrastructure elements for multiple uses. The
concept of ecosystem services is extensively developed in this
book, including biological treatment of stormwater and wastewater,
opportunities for recreation, urban agriculture and emersion in a
naturalistic setting. It defines planning and design processes as
well as the political and economic facets of envisioning, funding
and implementing green infrastructure networks. The book differs
from others on the market by presenting the technical issues,
requirements and performance of green infrastructure elements,
along with the more traditional recreation and wildlife needs
associated with greenway planning, providing information derived
from environmental engineering to guide planners and landscape
architects.
