Resilience and Sustainability Through Green Infrastructure

This research explores the pivotal role of green infrastructure in fostering urban resilience and sustainability based on a critical analysis of study findings from best practices. The literature review integrates ecological, social, and economic aspects to clarify its importance. Defined as a network of natural and artificial components, Green infrastructure is subject to several interpretations, as this study explores. Green infrastructures are becoming more critical in developing smart cities in our modern era. Through psychological relaxation and stress relief, social cohesion, physical activity support, and a reduction in exposure to air pollution, noise, and extreme heat, urban green space such as parks, playgrounds, and residential greenery can improve mental and physical health and lower morbidity and mortality rates among urban residents. The conceptual framework's development plans focus on community involvement and smooth integration with current urban structures. The conclusion emphasizes how green infrastructure may change cities for the better. It provides a road map for overcoming challenges and embracing a future in which urbanization and nature coexist to create resilient and sustainable urban cities.
