Green Infrastructure is a landscape planning and design method based on creating a network of blue-green landscapes (vegetation and water systems) that perform infrastructural functions while providing ecosystem services to cities. In green infrastructure, design is conceived based on the biogeophysical potential and limitations of the landscape, and water management is carried out through Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) such as rain gardens, bioswales, vegetated infiltration basins, and wetlands, which adapt existing infrastructure to the hydrological cycle and other ecological processes.
The 2021 Anacademy Architecture Journey is a fully online event designed for architecture and design professionals and students. Its mission is to contribute to the sharing of knowledge through the professional experience and practice of architects and urban planners.

After an amazing response to the first Virtual World Tour, during the peak of the pandemic in late 2020 early 2021, we decided to continue our global digital approach to connect the architectural community on a personal level.
