Abstract:

Owing to the background of global warming, blue–green infrastructure (BGI) has become important and to cope with the threat of different aspects of climate change has become an important issue. The study of BGI is a sustainable design solution/approach to redefine the character of the city that uses river and its adjacent land to establish the interconnected passageway between natural habitats and the river belongs to everyone. It benefits everyone in the region with its implementation through nature-based solutions.

The study will analyze how adopting the BGI will benefit for the river re-vitalization and development. It will conclude by adopting strategies for approaching and implementing BGI for the river front development. Secondly, the study will identify the approaches on integrating concept of BGI in current scenario. Finally, the conclusion is based on the benefits of BGI reflected through the approaches showing the importance of BGI.
