Landscape architects, urban designers, planners, and others in the design profession are attempting to identify challenges, increase the importance of seeking sources of inspiration, and learn from previous projects involving urban green infrastructure. This thesis identifies key barriers to using urban green infrastructure and defines urban green infrastructure from government officials who have experienced its functionality. Its implementation in urban areas can be misunderstood if there is little involvement and communication amongst both government officials and communities. For instance, provision of valuable information can guide communities and their officials to recognize the various benefits that urban green infrastructure has to offer, no matter how it is defined. Innovative urban green infrastructure designs would not only enhance stormwater management but most importantly improve public green space for social and recreational activities in urban settings while already providing reasonable environmental benefits. Ultimately, urban green infrastructure is a fascinating design approach that improves livability and connections between green spaces that can commit to being functional with social interactions within environments.
