New York City Green Infrastructure Plan

The New York City Green Infrastructure Plan aims to manage stormwater sustainably by using natural methods rather than relying solely on traditional pipes and sewers. It encourages the creation of green spaces like parks, green roofs, and rain gardens that absorb rainwater, reducing flooding and water pollution. This approach improves environmental quality, enhances city aesthetics, and supports community health. By investing in these natural solutions, NYC seeks to create a more resilient, sustainable, and healthier urban environment while also helping to meet regulatory water quality standards.
