Green Infrastructure
Green infrastructure is essential to Boston's work towards becoming a greener, more resilient, and equitable city.
The Streets Cabinet works collaboratively with all City departments to implement Green Infrastructure (GI) across the City. GI is an umbrella term for stormwater management features that use plants, soil, and other natural materials to remove pollutants and allow stormwater to absorb back into the ground. These features help prevent flooding and reduce the amount of polluted water that goes to the City’s water bodies. GI also has many environmental, social and economic benefits.
