Abstract

Green infrastructure can effectively coordinate environmental,
social and economic development, and has become one of the
important strategies to achieve sustainable development. This
study used CiteSpace and VOSviewer to analyze 2194 papers in
the field of green infrastructure published from 1995 to 2019 in
the Web of Science database using the bibliometrics and visualization methods. Results demonstrate a substantial increase in the
number of studies on green infrastructure in recent years, with
European and American countries leading the study of green
infrastructure. Landscape and Urban Planning, Urban Forestry &
Urban Greening, and Journal of Environmental Management are
the first three cited journals in green infrastructure study. By
studying co-cited literature, the study of green infrastructure has
been found to involve the relationship between green infrastructure and ecosystem and human health, construction, evaluation
and management of green infrastructure, and analysis of a special
aspect of green infrastructure, among others. Clustering analysis
results of green infrastructure keywords indicate that the existing
studies have concentrated on green infrastructure in stormwater
management, ecosystem services, biodiversity protection, and climate change. This study provides references for green infrastructure for sustainable environment development.
