Green infrastructure refers to a strategically planned network of natural and semi-natural spaces—such as parks, green corridors, urban trees, rivers, wetlands, or gardens—designed to provide multiple ecosystem services. In the urban context, this network contributes to improving environmental quality, strengthening climate resilience, supporting biodiversity, and promoting human well-being.
