ABSTRACT
Green infrastructure and urban development go hand in hand. A network of natural and semi-natural areas, such as parks, green roofs, urban forests, and green walls, is referred to as "green infrastructure" and offers numerous environmental, social, and economic advantages. Green infrastructure may improve biodiversity, lessen the effects of urban heat islands, reduce air and water pollution, and give locals more recreational options. On the other side, urban development describes the process of constructing and increasing urban areas to meet changing urban needs and a growing urban population. Depending on the planning and administration of urban infrastructure, urban development can have either beneficial or bad effects on the environment and human health. Urban development that is resilient, sustainable, and egalitarian can be advanced by green infrastructure. Green infrastructure can be included into urban architecture and planning so that communities can: Green infrastructure can help to improve environmental quality by lowering water and air pollutants, reducing the effects of urban heat islands, and boosting biodiversity. This may result in a healthier, more sustainable urban environment and better environmental quality. Green infrastructure may offer citizens recreational activities as well as chances for learning and community involvement, which can improve quality of life. In addition to promoting social cohesiveness and community resilience, this can improve quality of life. Promote economic development: By luring tourists, assisting neighbourhood businesses, and generating employment in the green industry, green infrastructure can help boost regional economies. Overall, there is a strong connection between urban growth and green infrastructure, and including green infrastructure into urban design and planning can support equitable, resilient, and sustainable urban development.
