N2 - This chapter serves as a summary of what we have covered in the last four parts of the book in 16 chapters. We could not have put together a more comprehensive volume, providing practitioners, policymakers, and researchers a set of guidelines, best practices, and innovative ideas for the future of green infrastructure practice (i.e., design and planning), implementation, and integration. The book has included many case study examples, policies, guidelines, and ideas for green infrastructures (GIs) in Chinese cities, some that could also be applied to other contexts. Moreover, this chapter summarises some key lessons and directions towards sustainable urban green infrastructures. It also highlights selected potential new directions in future research and practice of green infrastructure development in China and elsewhere. China’s progress (to date) is discussed as an emerging model, where we see a larger capacity for more investment, innovation, and opportunities that could lead to more sustainable planning and design solutions.
