GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE: A STRATEGIC TOOL FOR CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION IN URBAN ENVIRONMENTS

摘要: The changing climate has a significant negative impact on urban environments, influencing thereby the quality of life residents and causing range problems in areas worldwide. There is need for efficient planning design tools, which can mitigate these effects. Green infrastructure represents tool to create more resilient sustainable environments by greening open spaces our cities. structures greenery elements improve microclimate reduce noise, dustiness, heat island effect help manage stormwater. Therefore, it crucial protect existing green spaces, enhance their connectedness utilise unconventional creating new would health landscapes. Here, roofs, walls, brownfields other empty comes into play. They still represent an unutilised potential contemporary Landscape Architecture as field research practice plays role developing innovative designing will contribute creation multifunctional landscapes future.
