Urban Landscapes and Green Infrastructure
2017Urban green infrastructure (GI) has been promoted as an approach to respond to major urban environmental and social challenges such as reducing the ecological footprint, improving human health and well-being, and adapting to climate change. Various definitions of GI have been proposed since its emergence more than two decades ago.

Urban waterways as green infrastructure
2018Green infrastructure can be considered as all-natural, semi-natural and artificial networks of multifunctional ecological systems within, around and between urban areas, at all spatial scales. In this chapter, the authors cover how different components of green infrastructure (GI) project management relate to environmental justice (EJ) issues.

Life cycle implications of urban green infrastructure
Environmental Pollution, 2011Low Impact Development (LID) is part of a new paradigm in urban water management that aims to decentralize water storage and movement functions within urban watersheds. LID strategies can restore ecosystem functions and reduce runoff loadings to municipal water pollution control facilities (WPCF).
