About the Book
The necessity for innovative solutions is critical in the pursuit of a sustainable future, as the rapidly urbanizing world confronts climate change, biodiversity loss, and public health concerns. The concept of blue and green infrastructure is a game-changing innovation. Blue and green infrastructure provides a solution to urban planning by strategically incorporating natural and engineered aquatic features - blue infrastructure - with vegetation and green spaces - green infrastructure. This approach addresses environmental, social, and economic challenges, and improves water quality, reduces urban heat islands, and mitigates flood risks, enhancing urban resilience. It also fosters biodiversity by establishing habitats for a variety of species and establishing green spaces for human recreation and well-being. Further exploration may help establish blue-green infrastructure as a standard in urban development practices. Integrating Blue-Green Infrastructure Into Urban Development investigates the numerous opportunities that integrated infrastructure offers, including increased biodiversity, improved air and water quality, and enhanced climate resilience. It also addresses obstacles, such as stakeholder coordination, funding constraints, and equitable access to green and aquatic spaces. This book covers topics such as smart technology, energy engineering, and cybersecurity, and is a useful resource for architects, civil engineers, business owners, policymakers, environmentalists, scientists, researchers, and academicians.
