Abstract

Green infrastructure and other nature-based solutions are innovative approaches that, in addition to adapting to the changes in the world around us, provide a way to protect natural resources and ultimately increase the quality of urban environments. Increasing the flexibility of neighborhoods and promoting a sustainable lifestyle will improve the health and well-being of urban residents. This concept is actually a relatively new concept and a detailed evaluation has not yet been done in relation to dense cities such as Tehran. This research tries to increase the quality of life of citizens, while examining the characteristics of urban green infrastructure and explaining the criteria for the implementation of urban green infrastructure in dense cities and identifying the challenges, limitations and opportunities ahead in the path of implementing urban green infrastructure in one of the areas With high urban density (Sheikh Hadi neighborhood in the 11th district of Tehran), provide implementation strategies in the direction of redesigning the landscape of this area. Therefore, this research is with practical results and in the form of descriptive-analytical research, and by using the tool of structured interview, the opinions of experts in connection with the concept of urban green infrastructure, the necessary criteria for the implementation of urban green infrastructure in dense cities, and finally the implementation solutions of green infrastructure city ​​has been weighted and then based on the method of content analysis and prioritization of the sub-criteria related to each of these criteria, a strategic plan will be presented for parts of this neighborhood and the implementation of the urban green infrastructure approach. In order to finally be able to take a step towards increasing environmental sustainability in this area and improving the health and quality of life of its citizens.
