Assessment of Green Infrastructure Implementation in Urban Redevelopment Projects: A Case Study Approach

Thesis Abstract

Abstract
Green infrastructure plays a vital role in urban planning and development, offering multiple benefits in terms of environmental sustainability, social well-being, and economic prosperity. This thesis focuses on the assessment of green infrastructure implementation in urban redevelopment projects, utilizing a case study approach to explore the challenges, opportunities, and best practices associated with integrating green infrastructure into urban landscapes. The research investigates the background and context of green infrastructure, identifies key issues and gaps in current practices, sets out clear objectives for the study, and defines the scope and limitations of the research. Through an extensive literature review, ten critical themes related to green infrastructure in urban redevelopment are analyzed, providing a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter. The research methodology chapter outlines the approach taken to collect and analyze data, including site selection, data collection methods, and data analysis techniques. The findings chapter presents a detailed discussion of the results obtained from the case study analysis, highlighting successful strategies, challenges faced, and lessons learned in implementing green infrastructure in urban redevelopment projects. The conclusion chapter summarizes the key findings, discusses their implications for practice and policy, and offers recommendations for future research and implementation. This thesis contributes to the existing body of knowledge on green infrastructure by providing valuable insights into its application in urban redevelopment projects and offers practical guidance for planners, policymakers, and developers seeking to create more sustainable and resilient urban environments.
