Assessment of Blue-Green Infrastructure Integration: Socio-Economic Aspect

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyse the social, environmental and economic impacts of integrating blue-green infrastructure into the urban environment. The article theoretically examines the main components of the blue-green economy, assesses their environmental, economic and social outcomes, and formalises these outcomes through indicators and metrics. The study examines the impact of Kharkiv's blue-green infrastructure on the health and well-being of the city's residents. It analyses how the integration of such infrastructure affects the gross regional product, as well as its role in achieving the sustainable development goals set out in international and national strategic documents. The study estimates the benefits and costs of implementing blue-green infrastructure, which helps to make informed decisions and ensure that projects are in line with sustainable development goals.
