Project Abstract

Abstract
The concept of green infrastructure has emerged as a critical component of sustainable urban development, aiming to address environmental challenges while enhancing the quality of life for urban residents. This research focuses on the assessment of green infrastructure strategies and their impact on sustainable urban development. The study explores various green infrastructure approaches, such as green roofs, rain gardens, permeable pavements, and urban forests, in the context of urban planning and design. The research begins with a comprehensive introduction that outlines the background of the study and presents the problem statement. It then delineates the objectives of the research, highlighting the importance of evaluating green infrastructure strategies in urban settings. The limitations and scope of the study are also discussed, providing a clear framework for the research. A thorough literature review is conducted in Chapter Two, exploring ten key studies and articles that have examined the role of green infrastructure in sustainable urban development. The review aims to synthesize existing knowledge and identify gaps in the literature that the current research seeks to address. Chapter Three presents the research methodology, detailing the research design, data collection methods, sampling techniques, and data analysis procedures. The chapter outlines the steps taken to assess the effectiveness of green infrastructure strategies in promoting sustainability and resilience in urban areas. Chapter Four provides a detailed discussion of the research findings, presenting seven key insights derived from the analysis of data collected. The chapter explores the impact of green infrastructure on urban ecosystems, stormwater management, air quality, biodiversity, and public health. It also considers the economic benefits and social implications of implementing green infrastructure strategies in urban planning. The research concludes with Chapter Five, summarizing the key findings and implications of the study. The chapter underscores the significance of integrating green infrastructure into urban development practices to create more sustainable and resilient cities. Recommendations for policymakers, urban planners, and practitioners are provided to support the adoption of green infrastructure strategies in urban settings. In conclusion, this research contributes to the growing body of knowledge on green infrastructure and its role in fostering sustainable urban development. By assessing the effectiveness of green infrastructure strategies, this study provides valuable insights for policymakers and practitioners seeking to create more environmentally friendly and livable cities.
