Smart Green Infrastructure: Transforming Urban Landscapes with Technology and Nature-Based Solutions

Smart Green Infrastructure: Transforming Urban Landscapes with Technology and Nature-Based Solutions explores the transformative potential of combining cutting-edge technology with Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) to create sustainable, resilient, and livable urban environments. This comprehensive guide delves into the concept of Smart Green Infrastructure (SGI), showcasing how cities worldwide are leveraging technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and renewable energy to optimize green spaces, manage resources efficiently, and tackle the environmental and social challenges of urbanization.

The book highlights how SGI enhances urban resilience to climate change and extreme weather, reduces pollution, mitigates the urban heat island effect, and improves air and water quality. It also explores how smart grids and renewable energy integration improve energy efficiency while promoting biodiversity through the thoughtful incorporation of green spaces into urban planning. Moreover, the book emphasizes the role of SGI in fostering community engagement and creating inclusive, equitable cities that benefit all residents.

Whether you are a city planner, environmental professional, policymaker, or someone interested in sustainable urban development, this book provides valuable insights and practical examples of how technology and nature are reshaping cities for a greener, smarter future. It offers guidance on integrating green infrastructure with advanced technologies and strategies for overcoming barriers to implementing SGI at a global scale.

Smart Green Infrastructure: Transforming Urban Landscapes with Technology and Nature-Based Solutions is an essential resource for understanding, planning, and executing SGI initiatives that will shape the cities of tomorrow.
