Abstract

Currently, the frequent occurrence of unused vacant land and lack of green infrastructure in the process of urbanization is an increasingly serious urban disease, which not only puts great pressure on the ecological environment of cities, but also highlights the equity of green space. Particularly in China's older urban areas, green infrastructure is unevenly distributed and poorly connected to cover all areas of the neighborhood. Research on urban green infrastructure development will help to realize green space justice and have a practical impact on habitat construction. Based on the concepts of green infrastructure and other related concepts, this study focuses on micro-small scale urban settlements in China, and analyzes the current status of green infrastructure at the community level and establishes a framework for green infrastructure assessment through the grid analysis method. On this basis, we identify informal green spaces through GIS satellite data, transform informal green spaces into the main components of green infrastructure, fill in the service blind zones of formal green spaces, and maintain the ecological balance and sustainable development of the urban environment while beautifying the city's image.
