Green InfrastructureLinking Landscapes and Communities

---

Green Infrastructure is a practical and inspiring guide to rethinking how we plan, protect, and manage the landscapes around us. With detailed examples from across the country, this book introduces a forward-looking approach to land conservation—one that connects natural systems across scales, from individual parcels to entire regions, and integrates ecological health with human needs. Written by leading experts in planning, design, and conservation, this wide-ranging resource helps readers understand how to evaluate the full range of potential uses for a landscape—recreation, biodiversity, flood mitigation, habitat connectivity, or community development—and identify which uses offer the greatest long-term value. The book equips professionals and advocates alike with a toolkit for implementing conservation strategies that serve both people and nature. From greenway design to regional watershed planning, Green Infrastructure presents real-world strategies and decision-making frameworks that can be tailored to a variety of urban, suburban, and rural settings. It also shows how to build partnerships, navigate policy, and align conservation goals with economic and social priorities. Clear, accessible, and rich with illustrations, this book empowers planners, landscape architects, and engaged citizens to design landscapes that are resilient, functional, and meaningful—advancing a smarter, more connected vision for land stewardship in the 21st century.
