Definition, Integration and Effectiveness of Integrated Green-Grey Infrastructure in Residential Street Retrofits: A Systematic Literature Review
Open AccessXinxin Wang, Andreas Wesener et al.ARTICLEUrban Science2026
Suburban residential streets have long been criticised for their multiple short-comings, including traffic-related injury, increased stormwater runoff, and lack of aesthetic values. Research suggests that Integrated Green-Grey Infrastructure (IGGI) is likely to play a role in mitigating these problems. IGGI refers to infrastructure that consists of both natural materials (such as plants, soil) and human-made structures (such as concrete, pipes). …
The potential of industrial green stormwater infrastructure to provide long-term supplementary flood mitigation for low-lying coastal cities under climate change
Open AccessSuphicha Muangsri, Wendy McWilliam et al.ARTICLELandscape and Urban Planning2024
Coastal city flooding is projected to worsen in low-lying cities with climate change. Planners are concerned about the inadequacy of their current flood mitigation strategies, and the expense and risk of investing in expensive grey infrastructures, such as levees, under climate uncertainty. Implementing green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) on large privately-owned industrial land may be an attractive alternative; however, little is known about i…
Status and Future Directions for Residential Street Infrastructure Retrofit Research
Open AccessKsenia I Aleksandrova, Wendy McWilliam et al.ARTICLEUrban Science2019References: 3
Residential streets, particularly in automobile-dependent suburban locations, have frequently been perceived as ecologically unsustainable, antisocial, unhealthy, and aesthetically dull from an urban design perspective. However, residential streets can be improved through infrastructure retrofits, particularly by combining green and grey infrastructures and integrating various functions and services. Using a systematic literature review and an ad…

Effectiveness of Boundary Structures in Limiting Residential Encroachment into Urban Forests
Wendy J McWilliam, Wendy McWilliam et al.ARTICLELandscape Research2012References: 19
Urban forests provide essential functions in support of human communities; however, studies indicate adjacent residential land uses degrade urban forests following development. The resulting impacts are known as encroachment. Local Ontario governments rely primarily on passive management, such as boundary structures (e.g. fences) to limit this degradation but do not know whether they are effective for limiting the area of the forest floor covered…
Effects of Housing Development on Bird Species Diversity in a Forest Fragment in Ontario, Canada
Wendy J McWilliam, Wendy McWilliam et al.ARTICLELandscape Research2001Cited by: 2References: 35
This study investigated the effects of a housing development on the number and composition of forest bird species in an adjacent remnant woodlot in Southern Ontario, Canada. The predicted effects of the development on the woodlot species were the subject of two regulatory hearings between 1979 and 1983. Theoretical evidence was presented that predicted a significant decrease in the number of interior species. The regulatory board ruled that theor…
