Deming Green Infrastructure

Green infrastructure or blue-green infrastructure is a network providing the “ingredients” for solving urban and climatic challenges by building with nature. The main components of this approach include stormwater management, climate adaptation, less heat stress, more biodiversity, food production, better air quality, sustainable energy production, clean water and healthy soils, as well as the more anthropocentric functions such as increased quality of life through recreation and providing shade and shelter in and around towns and cities. Green infrastructure also serves to provide an ecological framework for social, economic and environmental health of the surroundings.Green Infrastructure is considered a subset of “Sustainable and Resilient Infrastructure”, which is defined in standards such as SuRe, the Standard for Sustainable and Resilient Infrastructure. However, green infrastructure can also mean “low-carbon infrastructure” such as renewable energy infrastructure and public transportation systems (See “low-carbon infrastructure”). Blue-green infrastructure can also be a component of “sustainable drainage systems” or “sustainable urban drainage systems” (SuDS or SUDS) designed to manage water quantity and quality, while providing improvements to biodiversity and amenity.
