Introduction
• Urban Forests “Green Infrastructure”• Built Environments “Grey Infrastructure”• Land-use Decisions
– In a coherent and supportive physical framework – Durability of DecisionsWe don’t have a density problem, we have a
design problem.

Introduction
• Development Decisions–Coherent and supportive infrastructure – Mutually reinforcing – Pieces exist today
We don’t have a density problem, we have a design problem.

Making space for Green Infrastructure:
By 2030, 50% of all buildings will have been built in the last 50 years

Our Role - Opportunity
• Development Decisions– Haphazard– Rarely cohesive across scales– Rarely beneficial across scales
• Human Health– Impacted by built environment
• Obesity, cardiopulmonary• Psychosocial: attention, quality of life

Urban Forest Resource
• Shade buildings and pavement• Latent heat flux and evapotranspiration• Intercept rainfall – peak flow• Stormwater requirements• Human health
– Physical, psychosocial,equity

Society and CommunityInformation and change asymmetry

America: “Smart Growth” is the return to built environment patterns found prior to WWII

Putting Together The
Green Infrastructur
e Puzzle

• Community Plans• Land-use Plans
– Zoning, uses, standards• Development Codes
– Architectural design, amenity, hazards
• Environmental Laws
Development Decisions

• Comprehensive Plans– City, County, Prefect scales
• Set high-level goals• Green Infrastructure as a goal• Green Infrastructure supports many planning and community goals
Community Plans
![Page 12: Increasing Green Infrastructure in Compact Developments: Strategies for Providing Ecologically Beneficial Greenery in Modern Urban Built Environments Daniel.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051301/5a4d1aff7f8b9ab059985fa3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Trees must have adequate rooting volume• Trees must have enough distance from infrastructure
Design Standards
![Page 13: Increasing Green Infrastructure in Compact Developments: Strategies for Providing Ecologically Beneficial Greenery in Modern Urban Built Environments Daniel.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051301/5a4d1aff7f8b9ab059985fa3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• Avoid Conflicts• Trees doing work for many
Design Standards
![Page 14: Increasing Green Infrastructure in Compact Developments: Strategies for Providing Ecologically Beneficial Greenery in Modern Urban Built Environments Daniel.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051301/5a4d1aff7f8b9ab059985fa3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Increase shading• More room for tree canopy
Design Standards

Gray and Green Infrastructure
• Use Green Infrastructure as a Stormwater Utility• Re-think how Grey Infrastructure is sited• Green Infrastructure supports many planning and community goals• Many actors have different pieces of a finished puzzle
