Green infrastructure (GI) includes an array of products, technologies, and practices that use natural systems - or designed systems that mimic natural processes - to enhance environmental sustainability and human quality of life. GI is the ultimate source of the ecosystem services which the biotic environment provides to humanity.

The objective of this thematic issue is to publish a cross-section of quality research which addresses how urban planning can contribute to the conservation, management, enhancement, and creation of GI in the city.
