What Green Infrastructure Coalition Does
Details
Overview
The Green Infrastructure Coalition provides integrated planning resources and design guidance for deploying green infrastructure—permeable pavements, bioswales, rain gardens, and living shorelines—to manage stormwater, reduce flooding, and enhance urban landscapes. The Coalition’s tools help municipalities and developers translate green infrastructure concepts into actionable projects that build resilience while delivering community co-benefits.
Key Features
- Green infrastructure design guides: Comprehensive technical standards for bioretention, permeable pavement, and other nature-based stormwater solutions
- Stormwater management tools: Models for quantifying runoff reduction and flood mitigation from green infrastructure deployment
- Permeable pavement calculators: Cost and performance estimates for permeable asphalt, concrete, and paver installations
- Urban planning resources: Integration strategies for incorporating green infrastructure into streetscapes, parking areas, and public spaces
Who Is It For?
Municipal planners, public works departments, landscape architects, and developers seeking nature-based alternatives to conventional grey infrastructure. The Coalition’s resources are designed for practitioners at all technical levels and across diverse climates and geographies.
