Over the last decade research exploring green infrastructure
planning has burgeoned. Transferable green infrastructure messages
between locations though are less well established and there
remains a visible gap between the conceptual understanding of green
infrastructure and its application in practice. Drawing together
evaluations of green infrastructure policy-making and practice from
across the world Global Green Infrastructure illustrates where
successful practices can be identified. Examples from major green
infrastructure development areas in the UK, Europe and the USA
highlight the variety of investment options that can deliver
socio-economic benefits. There is also a growing awareness of the
added value of landscape planning in the rapidly developing cities
of India and China. Reflecting on ten international case studies
Global Green Infrastructure highlights the ways that ecology and
engineered solutions can deliver successful urban development.
Based on in situ research with the growing community of green
infrastructure researchers and practitioners Global Green
Infrastructure looks at the contradictions, consensus, and
expanding evidence base of successful investments. This book also
presents an in-depth commentary on the contemporary approaches to
investment in urban greening and green infrastructure, and draws on
the lessons we have learnt from a decade of experimentation,
delivery and reflection.
