综述了绿色基础设施的起源发展,总结了推动其概念形成的发展脉络,分别是人居环境视角、生态保护视角和绿色技术视角。提出了绿色基础设施在空间、功能、要素上的内涵,阐述了它与生态系统服务的外延关系。通过文献研究,综述了绿色基础设施在气候变化、人体健康、空气质量、雨洪管理、公众认知和社区参与、评价研究等领域的国际研究进展。结合我国绿色基础设施的研究现状和问题进行评述,并对未来发展提出展望。 This paper first reviews the origin and development of green infrastructure (GI) and then summarizes the context, formation and development from the perspectives of human settlements, ecological protection, and green technology. Then, it describes GI from spatial, functional, and elemental aspects. The relationship of GI with ecological services is also elucidated. Through a literature review, the international research frontiers of GI are assessed for the following topics: climate change, human health, air quality, stormwater management, public awareness, community participation, and evaluation research. Finally, this paper predicts future developments in GI based on the current status of GI research and problems in China. © 2017, Ecological Society of China. All rights reserved.
