GIS Issues

[edit]

The "GIS applications" section needs more detail or at the very least a reference.

The article should also relate to EU-definitions of green infrastructure:

Definition: Green Infrastructure is the interconnected network of natural areas including some agricultural land, such as greenways, wetlands, parks, forest preserves and native plant communities, and marine areas that naturally regulate storm flows, temperatures, flooding risk, and water, air and ecosystem quality.

Defined in the EU WHITE PAPER: Adapting to climate change: Towards a European framework for action

and used in the following context:

Green Infrastructure can play a crucial role in adaptation in providing essential resources for social and economic purposes under extreme climatic conditions. Examples include improving the soil’s carbon and water storage capacity, and conserving water in natural systems to alleviate the effect of droughts and to prevent floods, soil erosion and desertification.

It is also mentioned as important contribution towards sustainability in the document on REGIONAL POLICY CONTRIBUTING TO SUSTAINABLE GROWTH IN EUROPE 2020


"Green infrastructure" refers to forests, rivers, coastal zones, parks, eco-corridors and other natural or semi-natural features which constitute key elements for the provision of ecosystem services. Developing green infrastructure is key to maintaining a sustainable environment in which our economy and society can prosper. In particular it helps to adapt to climate change and contributes to the creation and proper management of ecological networks. Thus, managing authorities should ensure that the impact on natural areas and land use is fully examined in their appraisal of all infrastructural projects. The use of appropriate instruments such as integrated coastal and river basin management should be reinforced in particular where Natura 2000 areas are likely to be affected. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.174.18.1 (talk) 16:37, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Note

[edit]

I added a section: types of green infrastructure, and expended the GIS section. Pat736 entry - work up until 11/7/14 Green infrastructure is a union between the building of structures and the surrounding natural environment to solve urban and environmental problems, such as heat stress, biodiversity, water management, sustainable energy production, climate change and more, all over the world. Green infrastructure is most commonly used to help control and redirect stormwater runoff and integrate stormwater management into everyday infrastructure in countries such as Sweden, US, UK, and Germany. This multi-functional approach is not only important to the environment, but has also shown positive economic effects by reducing costs.Yujunliu (talk) 21:57, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Adding a History Section

[edit]

This article does not contain a dedicated history section that could consolidate the history facts that are present in the article. Throughout the article, there are numorous history facts that are spread out that could be formated into its own section. Adding a history section would also provide a clear background of how green infrastructure is rooted in history and its importance in society. Jruhbc (talk) 18:06, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Citation Needed in Examples Section

[edit]

In "Surrey, British Columbia", only 1 citation is given for the entire passage at the end of it. There should be multiple citation after each paraphrase or statement made.

In "Nya Krokslätt, Sweden", only 1 citation is given for the entire passage at the end of it. After each statement or paraphrase there should be a citation made.

In "Gowanus Canal Sponge Park, New York, US", no citations are given for the entire passage.

In "Emeryville, California, US", only 2 citations are given for the entire passage, but there is multiple statements and paraphrases made in the passage. More citations are needed for this passage.

In "New York Sun Works Center, US", only 1 citation is given for the entire passage. More than 1 citation is needed for this due to the fact that multiple statements and paraphrases are made. Jruhbc (talk) 18:13, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Addition of a History of Green Infrastructure Section

[edit]

I have started a new section in Green Infrastructure titled "History of Green Infrastructure". It will be divided into subheading based on the century being recorded.Jruhbc (talk) 16:37, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have added a couple sentences on the first use of the GI term and added two new sources.Eschell20 (talk) 16:56, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I will be adding more subsections (19th and 20th centuries). Eschell20 (talk) 15:45, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Addition to History Section

[edit]
Changed the subheading from "17th Century" to "17th Century - 18th Century"
Added onto the section with a paragraph on the use of green infrastructure in French Society
Addition of Greek Agora information to "1st Century - 5th Century" section

Jruhbc (talk) 04:18, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Revisions

[edit]
For the "17th Century - 18th Century" there are 2 quotes present that are provided to reinforce the previous statements and to provide examples of green infrastructure in that time period. These quotes might not be necessary, but I have provided them as for now and welcome any future revisions if someone deems them not needed for the section.
