Abstract

One of the most crucial measures for accomplishing sustainable development is the application of Green Infrastructure (GI), which could effectively coordinate social, environmental, and economic growth. Different publications on GI were analyzed in this research using bibliometric and visualization techniques with the help of the programs CiteSpace and VOSviewer, which were accessed through the Web of Science database. The number of publications relating to GI has increased dramatically over the past few decades, with research done in the United States and Europe taking the lead. Journal of Environmental Management, Urban Planning and Landscaping, and Urban Greening & Urban Forestry are the most often referenced periodicals for green infrastructure research. Investigation of co-cited literature has shown that several aspects of GI are studied, including their effect on human health and ecosystem; their management, appraisals, and design; and the evaluation of a particular feature of GI. Results from a keyword cluster analysis for "green infrastructure" show that most previous research has focused on this topic in four main areas: stormwater regulation, natural ecosystems, biodiversity preservation, and climate change.
