Abstract

Currently, there is a tendency to apply nature-based landscape components as an important element in decentralised stormwater management, an essential part of sustainable urban development. The term blue-green infrastructure (BGI) is now used for many planning solutions of sustainable cities. Using thematic analysis of 27 studies and documents between 20062019, we identified 6 types of approaches to BGI. We then reclassified the six observed approaches into three basic categories of conceptual approaches to BGI. We distinguished four basic guidelines for the development of science and practice, aimed at promoting of an integrated concept of BGI to support multidisciplinary planning of sustainable cities. Based on the benefits of BGI presented in studies and documents, we show the importance of BGI from the perspective of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
