Title Smart landscaping – Way forward for sustainable cities and communities
 
Creator Dubey, R K
Singh, Simrat
Pant, Kritika
 
Description Utilizing vertical landscaping, rooftop landscaping, xeriscaping and diverse planting materials including native flora and fauna along with use of smart solar panels, sensor based application of water and nutrients to plants can mitigate the urban heat island effect, improve air quality, and reduce noise pollution. Urban green spaces are the basis of ecosystem and social well being. City parks, green barriers, rooftop garden and vertical gardens in residential yards contribute in climate change mitigation. These landscapes are also responsible for maintaining biodiversity, reducing the gap between natural and man-made environment. However, challenges in implementing green infrastructure include high costs, limited resources, and urban sprawl. Overcoming these barriers requires strategic planning, government incentives, and innovative design solutions.
