The Green Infrastructure Research Group is a collaboration of scientists at the University of Melbourne who are studying how we can maximise the environmental and economic benefits provided by plants in the urban environment. We seek to quantify, and demonstrate the benefits of green infrastructure which encompasses the network of designed and natural vegetation found in our cities and towns. Green infrastructure includes public parks, recreation areas, remnant vegetation, residential gardens and street trees, as well as innovative new urban greening technologies such as green roofs and green walls.
