description | This paper investigates contemporary approaches defined by the policies,
programs or standards that favor green infrastructure in urban planning for
cooling urban environments with special reference to Serbian experiences. The
research results reveal an increasing emphasis on the multifunctionality of
green infrastructure as well the determination to the development of
policies, guidelines and standards with the support of the overall community.
Further, special importance is given to policies that promote ‘cool
communities’ strategies resulting in the increase of vegetation-covered
areas, what has contributed in adapting urban environments to the impacts of
climate change. In addition, this research indicates the important role of
local authorities and planners in Serbia in promoting planning policies and
programs that take into consideration the role of green infrastructure in
terms of improving climatic conditions, quality of life and reducing energy
needed for cooling and heating. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke Republike
