est Management Practices (BMP) and Green Infrastructure (GI) began emerging simultaneously
as concepts, and were somewhat interchange in the 1980
Naumann et al. [15] articulate GI as being
human made (or human influenced) infrastructure that is designed and installed with the purpose
of easing environmental pressures, such as flooding and extreme temperature fluctuations. GI, as a
concept, is broad ranging and flexible in nature, and comprises assets such as networks of public
open space, urban tree canopies, wetlands (natural or constructed), biofiltration systems, green walls,
and green roofs [16–18]. Naumann et al. [15] and Tzoulas et al. [19] emphasize that the key component
delineating GI from other types of infrastructure (i.e., blue or grey) is the simultaneous and harmonious
delivery of both human and ecological services
Climate Change Issues: Increased levels of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere, a legacy of the industrial revolution, population growth pressures, and consumerist lifestyle choices, are the main contributors to human-induced climate change Climate change is commensurate of warming temperatures, reductions in rainfall, increased frequency of extreme weather events, and contributions toward declining public health trends.

Future work/gaps
The GI research area is firmly dominated by foci comprising planning and policy, environmental and ecological, and social content, although modest attempts have also appeared in health and wellbeing, economic, and quality/performance of green infrastructure areas. Knowledge gaps identified by this review as requiring attention for research growth were identified as: (i) the ambiguity of terminology and the limited broad understanding of GI, and (ii) the absence of research produced in the continents of Asia and South America, as well as in regions with warmer climates, which are arguably equally valuable research locations as cooler climate bands
