Abstract
This book presents several case studies on green infrastructure in Asian countries, that is, China, India, Japan, and Indonesia. The following methodologies were utilized: risk analysis, cost–benefit analysis, integrated assessment modelling, input–output analysis, and comparative analysis. Cities are central to achieving low-carbon development targets. Green infrastructure adoption in cities will require transformations in technology, governance, and funding.
