Urban green infrastructure-
Presented by: Amit Pokhrel
The green infrastructure of a city consists of those parts that contribute to the
natural processes of keeping the water and the air clean and recycling of waste, It
includes the parks and wild lands, stream corridors, utility corridors and vacant
regenerating sites, These fragments of city property, if considered as a single
system similar to transportation or waste treatment, offer opportunities for keeping
our cities clean and for providing recreational space.
Arboriculture, bios wale, conservation corridor, Eco roof, green walls, heat island,
infrastructure, parks, porous paving, retaining wall, vegetation Cities are a complex
interaction of the natural and built elements. In order to maintain some degree of
balance in the natural systems, we have to introduce engineered systems to create
and transport energy, to remove and process wastes, to control storm runoff, etc
2. The green infrastructure of the city is comprised of natural and designed systems of
the elements of the city that functions in ways analogous to natural processes in
managing air, water, microclimatic and energy resources
