Abstract
Green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) is not only a key component of a city’s hardworking built infrastructure—it also acts to support social ties within a neighborhood through beautification and placemaking. It can improve mobility and safety for street users, as well as visibly reassert the important hydrological and environmental functions of streets.
