Practice questions

1 of 20Practice questions for this set

A secondary-source overview of green infrastructure argues that parks, urban forests, rain gardens, and green roofs can reduce stormwater runoff, mitigate urban heat islands, and improve air quality. The overview also warns that new green amenities may increase nearby rents, so cities sometimes pair greening projects with community land trusts, targeted subsidies, or tenant protections to avoid "green gentrification." Which option best reflects this balanced approach to urban sustainability?
