Green Infrastructure Lab
Summary
In an era of rapid urbanisation, our cities grapple with challenges like climate change, a decline in biodiversity, increasing in-equality, and resource scarcity.
Green Infrastructure (GI) addresses these issues head on by harnessing the power of nature.
GI encompasses networks of natural, semi-natural, and artificial green and blue spaces and systems. Think green roofs, green walls, urban parks, rooftop farms, wildlife corridors and street trees, all part of an interconnected network that tackle some of the most pressing challenges of our time.
Understood systemically, a green infrastructure approach to urbanism delivers ecosystem services that promote healthy, low-carbon, sustainable spaces. It calls on an integrated and trans-disciplinary approach to sustain human life in cities.
Simply put, GI is a nature-based solution to our urban future!
