Example goals and objectives when planning green infrastructure
Link to this table
| Example goals | Example objectives |
|---|---|
| Improve water quality, especially in areas with impaired or polluted waterways. | Install GSI upland of waterways Preserve natural buffers around waterways |
| Alleviate recurring local flooding issues | Install infiltration-based GSI. Reduce imperviousness through GSI |
| “Green” highly impervious or urban areas to reduce the urban heat island effect | Increase tree canopy Reduce imperviousness through vegetation-based GSI practices like bioretention |
| Provide a neighborhood or community amenity | Incorporate GSI as part of a larger neighborhood amenity like a pocket park or playground |
| Increase biodiversity and native habitat | Use native vegetation as part of a GSI project |
| Address socio-environmental issues in the community | Incorporate GSI as part of an overarching strategy to address socio-environmental concerns |
