Integrating Blue-Green as Next-Generation Urban Infrastructure in Developing Countries
The climate emergency and rapid population growth present challenges to the sustainability of urban design in cities worldwide. Nature-based solutions, such as reviving blue-green infrastructure (BGI) are gaining global traction for sustainable urban planning and effective urban space management. Developing BGI is a new concept that integrates water and vegetation management for ecosystem and human wellbeing. Several studies have documented multifunctional aspects of BGI including climate change adaptation, heat mitigation, land restoration and improvement of life quality. However, pertinent design strategies for this approach are remain unfledged in developing countries. The present chapter reviews the benefits and application of different BG solutions and also discusses the scientific information in the planning, revitalization, and maintenance of BGI as an imperative tool for achieving sustainable development in developing countries. This would aid in comprehending the priorities, differences and similarities in the development of BGI as a next-generation urban infrastructure.
