Green infrastructure refers to a network of interconnected green spaces that provide multiple ecosystem services. By integrating green infrastructure in urban planning, cities can reduce the adverse effects of urbanization and at the same time improve the livability and sustainability of the urban environment. To achieve sustainable development through green spaces, it is necessary to prioritize them in urban planning processes.
