INFRAESTRUCTURA VERDE REDES MULTIFUNCIONALES Y ENFOQUE HÍDRICO: UN ANÁLISIS DE LA LITERATURA

Between 2013 and 2023, Green Infrastructure (GI) emerged as a key component in promoting sustainable urban initiatives. Its rise was marked by an interdisciplinary approach that fostered the integration of diverse fields, establishing it as a foundational element in sustainable urban projects. GI aimed at creating resilient and sustainable cities by enhancing biodiversity, improving environmental quality, and contributing to climate change mitigation. This study aimed to analyze trends in GI, indicating that its scope extended beyond waterrelated issues to encompass multifunctional green networks. The research was conducted in two phases. Initially, a survey was carried out using the keyword "green infrastructure." Subsequently, two sets of research were outlined, with the first focusing on water-related terms: "Drainage," "Stormwater," "Rain-Garden," while the second focused on multifunctional green networks: "Landscape," "Nature-based solutions," "Urban Forest," "Implantation." The research, across both phases, reviewed 4,395 articles by country, highlighting the diversity and evolution in the definitions and applications of GI, varying by the year of publication. Of the reviewed articles, 1,545 focused on GI and multifunctional green networks, while 2,073 examined water-related issues. The research on GI grew from 2013 to 2023, especially in the USA, China, and Europe.
