Urban Green Infrastructure

I just finished the Urban Green Infrastructure eLearning module, and I thought it was interesting and helpful as a introduction for sustainable urban development. Important ideas like blue and green networks, ecosystem services, and sustainable urban planning were all clearly covered in the course.
