摘要 The increasing incidence of global warming and frequent heavy precipitation events presents a significant challenge for urban areas in managing extreme precipitation. Strengthening the resilience of communities to climate change is a crucial strategy for fostering sustainable urban development. Green infrastructure offers an ecologically system for rainwater management and ecological restoration, and plays a significant role in adapting to climate risks. This study focuses on climate resilience by examining the implementation of green rainwater infrastructure within the context of climate-adapted green infrastructure in the High Point community of Seattle, USA, and proposes renewal planning strategies, methods, and implementation concepts at the community level. The research indicates that the High Point community has effectively mitigated the issue of waterlogging and enhanced the local microclimate through the implementation of green infrastructure systems, including permeable pavement, rain gardens, bioretention pools, and vegetative buffer zones. It is proposed that the collaborative design of green infrastructure should adhere to principles of systematization, alignment with natural processes, adaptation to the local environment, and engagement of multiple stakeholders, while considering various functions, diverse communities, and differing social contexts. Furthermore, it should be developed in consideration of the unique spatial characteristics, landscape structures, and social needs of each community.
