Blue-Green Infrastructure
Blue-Green Infrastructure is a way to design cities that uses plants and water together to help manage rain, lower heat, and make spaces more enjoyable. In urban planning, designers can use things like rain gardens, green roofs, and small parks to soak up rainwater and cool down city blocks. These features can be planned to fit into streets, rooftops, and empty lots, turning unused or hard areas into helpful green spaces. Blue-Green Infrastructure can even help clean the air and give people places to relax, all while making the city look better and work better during heavy rain.
