Green infrastructure is recognized for its holistic approach to planning. By integrating economic, ecological, and social aspects into planning policies and practices, green infrastructure provides both a conceptual framework and a practical planning tool for addressing complex, multiscale environmental problems. In addition to an interconnected, multifunctional spatial approach, green infrastructure also brings together disparate disciplines, providing a common language for dealing with contemporary challenges. Yet, despite the comprehensive approach, specific interests and expert knowledge can be privileged over others. In particular, scientific and ecological information can sideline input from local communities and residents, which is often considered subjective and difficult to measure. However, sociocultural considerations are central to green infrastructure’s adaptive capacity and, thus, its ability to achieve resiliency objectives. This chapter explores how green infrastructure planning integrates differing perspectives, focusing on how citizen engagement can strengthen the role of sociocultural aspects in planning, designing, and delivering adaptable and resilient cities. Typically considered non-experts, local residents have their own expertise to offer, and green infrastructure can improve how this specific knowledge informs planning policies and decisions.
