Green Infrastructure for Urban Resilience Solar Panel Rooftop Green Infrastructure As urban areas face increasing risks from climate change, including rising temperatures, flooding, and extreme weather events, green infrastructure has emerged as a vital solution for enhancing urban resilience. Green infrastructure integrates natural and engineered systems to manage water, improve air quality, and provide cooling while delivering social and economic benefits. This section explores various green infrastructure technologies, their applications, and their role in building climate-resilient cities. The Role of Green Infrastructure in Urban Resilience Green infrastructure refers to systems and spaces that mimic natural processes to provide ecosystem services in urban environments. These include green roofs, permeable pavements, urban forests, and wetlands, which work collectively to address climate challenges. Urban heat islands (UHIs) represent a significant challenge in modern citi...
