Abstract：

This paper compares the built environment, water quality and quantity performance of typical green infrastructures in the US, and reviews case studies of city-scale green infrastructure projects in New York City and Philadelphia to propose following suggestions for green infrastructure built in urban areas in China. (1) Combine the green infrastructure project with gray infrastructure retrofit plan. Select types and layouts of green infrastructure based on the local situation. Impel the right of way green infrastructure development. (2) Implement green infrastructure on both public and private lands. (3) Make maintenance manuals of green infrastructure, and maintain the green infrastructure both periodically and as needed. (4) Monitor longterm water quality and quantity data, start to build national-wide database for stormwater management.
