ensure comfortable day-to-day lives of the habitants in the urban area [19, 24].
Since the green infrastructure of green alley structures of rainwater collection, green
roof, and urban forest management are interconnected systems it plays a critical role
along with the physical components of the urban area by offering best sustainable
infrastructure services to facilitate or improve the social condition of urban lives.
Conclusion
To conclude, green infrastructure, mentioned in this chapter, contributes to proper
dealing of stormwater runoff management, green roof for albedo control, and urban
forest to mitigate greenhouse gases and air pollutants, increasing biodiversity, providing less heat stress, managing climate adaptation, realizing sustainability, and
improving human life quality in the urban area. It is thus used to provide an ecological framework for social, economic, and environmental health of the urban areas.
Therefore, the application of sophisticated system mentioned above needs to be
realized for the construction of green infrastructure which indeed shall be a good
solution to achieve environmental and sustainability goals and further create a better
resilient community of the urban area.
