The Heart of Green Cities: The Role of Meadow and Pasture Plants in Landscape Areas in Sustainability and the Fight Against the Climate Crisis

Abstract

Increasing urbanisation and the climate crisis have brought new approaches to urban planning. Green infrastructure (GI) and nature-based solutions (NBS) are critical to making cities more liveable and environmentally and socially resilient. The concept of green infrastructure has become increasingly important in today's world, where urbanisation is on the rise, climate change is occurring, and biodiversity is declining, in terms of sustainability, increased ecological resilience, and public health. It is a concept based on the integration of nature-based solutions into urban systems, improving air quality, regulating microclimates and providing various benefits to ecosystems (Parlak & Atik, 2020). According to distinguished research literature, GI applications can simultaneously provide a range of ecosystem services, including flood control, microclimate regulation, air quality improvement, carbon emission reduction, biodiversity support, and social well-being. In a meta-analysis of 850 studies, the most frequently addressed ecosystem services were microclimate regulation (36%) and aesthetic values (23%) and the relationship between urban greenness and human health was revealed (Veerkamp et al. 2021). The use of meadow and pasture plants in urban landscapes brings not only environmental benefits but also social dimensions such as social interaction and cultural belonging (Zhang & Qian, 2024).
