| Abstract | |
Green spaces are part of the urban infrastructure and, with growing urbanization and the problems caused by global warming, they have gained prominence in recent research, highlighting the ecosystem, environmental, and social services they provide. In this context, this paper aims to discuss, through a bibliometric analysis and a literature review: the characteristics of urban green spaces; and the social and environmental contributions resulting from the ecosystem services they provide to society, with emphasis on mitigating the effects of climate change in the urban environment; as well as exemplifying the main types of green infrastructure used and the challenges for urban managers related to urban green infrastructure. The bibliometric analysis was based on the 'Proknow-C' methodology, starting with a preliminary investigation of the topic to select the search keywords, followed by a search of the Scopus and Web Of Science database portfolios, returning a total of 2945 documents, to which filters were applied, resulting in the final selection of 72 articles used to prepare the systematic literature review. There were several studies evaluating the contributions of infrastructure to the urban environment, highlighting the ecosystem services provided. Another relevant aspect was the classification of these infrastructures according to their functions, morphological characteristics, scale, land use and ecosystem services. Given the lack of research into the planning and management of urban green areas, it is proposed that studies be carried out that take into account current management demands, highlighting the importance of these studies integrating innovative and multidisciplinary concepts.
