Implication

Systematic review shows green infrastructure improves health benefits and reduces pollution in urban areas, indicating its potential for sustainable development.

Key Points

Integration of green infrastructure significantly reduces air pollutants like PM₂.₅ and NOₓ, leading to better public health.
Health benefits include decreased rates of respiratory diseases and lower healthcare costs, highlighting the value of green roofs and vertical forests.
Installation costs range from $15–540 per m², while long-term benefits often outweigh expenses through energy savings and increased property values.
Barriers remain in urban planning support and economic justification, suggesting the need for stronger interdisciplinary frameworks for adoption.
