Green infrastructure is a novel approach to landscape planning. Its innovation potentials lie in the comprehensive view of nature and landscape, which includes ecological, socio-cultural, aesthetic, and economic aspects and addresses diverse socio-political goals such as climate change or social cohesion. The broadly based and in parts vague concept offers opportunities precisely because of the possibilities for interpretation to discuss and integrate the development of landscapes from different perspectives. Therefore, the planning and implementation of green infrastructure requires participatory approaches that involve various disciplines and interest groups as well as consider and promote civic engagement.
