Vihersuunnitelmaa

Vihersuunnitelmaa refers to a green plan or green infrastructure plan in Finnish. It is a strategic document that outlines the development, management, and maintenance of green areas within a municipality or region. The primary goal of a vihersuunnitelmaa is to promote biodiversity, enhance the quality of the urban environment, and improve the well-being of residents.

These plans typically encompass a range of green elements, including parks, forests, street trees, green roofs, green walls, and water bodies. They often set objectives for increasing the amount of green space, improving connectivity between green areas, and incorporating nature-based solutions to address environmental challenges such as stormwater management and climate change adaptation.

Vihersuunnitelmaa plays a crucial role in urban planning and land use by integrating ecological considerations into development processes. They aim to create more resilient, livable, and attractive urban environments that offer ecological, social, and economic benefits. The implementation of a vihersuunnitelmaa involves collaboration between various stakeholders, including urban planners, landscape architects, environmental specialists, and community members. The success of these plans is often measured by indicators related to species diversity, accessibility of green spaces, and public satisfaction.
