Planning Steps of Urban Green Infrastructure in Existing Cities

The negative impacts of climate change have spread widely and calls increased toward finding smarterstrategies that can support both adaptation mitigation. Urban Green Infrastructure(UGI) is considered a certain type such strategies. literature review indicates lack knowledgeregarding the planning steps UGI in existing cities. In addition, comparison between thestudies tackle subject point out there are differences definition sequenceof these steps. current research aims to find optimal mostacceptable sequence process for smart cities.By using methodology “learning by doing”, seeks conclude from theworld’s real practices. A cross-case analysis was conducted four main practices define therelationship their determine similarities differences. crossanalysisrevealed almost followed similar processes but with different definitionsand sequences Based on intersections following theplanning logic, were extracted outlinedin “seven steps”. These include: providing precise identification impact,identifying higher-risk neighborhoods, collecting data about conditions, protectingand enhancing green blue elements, adding new assets, drawing results, andfinally calculating effectiveness. This set guide whole planningand ensure maximum benefits employing it cities achieve changesmart adaptation.
