Abstract
In response to the challenge of atmospheric pollution posed by growing environmental problems, this study reviews and analyzes the research status and development trends of green infrastructure (GI) in improving air pollution from 2014 to 2024. Using the CiteSpace tool, we explore research hotspots, disciplinary developments, significant contributors, and influential literature in this field, identifying current research gaps and predicting future trends. The findings indicate that GI significantly impacts the reduction of air pollution, the regulation of urban microclimates, and the enhancement of ecosystem services. However, existing studies often focus on isolated aspects and lack comprehensive assessments. Moreover, the research trajectory in this field shows a declining trend. Future research should emphasize interdisciplinary integration, combining ecology, urban planning, meteorology, and public health. By utilizing advanced technologies, such as drones, remote sensing, AI, and big data analysis, we can improve data accuracy and the generalizability of research findings. Additionally, it is crucial to consider the performance of GI under different climatic conditions and socio-economic contexts to comprehensively quantify its overall benefits in terms of air quality, urban thermal comfort, public health, and economic impact. This comprehensive approach will provide a scientific basis for policy-making and urban planning.
