Green Infrastructure in urban spaces: Bases, planning and implementation in integrated urban development
Through the general discussion on sustainable urban development currently at both national and international level an increasing interest in the subject urban greenspace and the concept of green infrastructure can be observed. Internationally, the EU strategy on green infrastructure refers to urban areas explicitly. In the currently developed "federal concept green infrastructure" cities are playing a role as well.
At the federal level, the “Green Paper on Urban Green” (Grünbuch Stadtgrün) was presented in 2015 presented by the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation, to which a corresponding “White Paper” (Weißbuch) will follow in 2017. The “Conservation Initiative 2020” of the Federal Ministry of the Environment Nature Conservation and Reactor Safety (BMUB) from 2015 anchored "Green City experience" (Grün in der Stadt erleben) as one of ten priority action areas of conservation.
