Green Infrastructure: Creative Urbanization

Green infrastructure is a concept that originated in the United States in the mid 1990?s and highlights the importance of the natural environment in land use planning. A network of eco-systems provides ?life support? which in turn leads to long term sustainability. Green infrastructure is usually observed in urban areas which are plagued by problems such as storm water runoff and lack of plants and greenery. Such type of infrastructure can help in reduction on cost of water and other utility bills by the use of long term sustainable infrastructural solutions.
