Stormwater green infrastructure brings environmental benefits but fuels gentrification concerns.
Stormwater green infrastructure helps filter out pollutants from urban runoff before it reaches waterways, improving water quality. This includes green roofs, alleys, and parks that also benefit local residents' health and well-being. However, these installations can lead to gentrification in some areas. A holistic approach to designing stormwater green infrastructure involves public involvement, sustainability, and fair distribution to address these issues.
