ABSTRACT

 

Along with industrialization and technological development in cities, horizontal and vertical construction is increasing. With this construction, impermeable surface area increases, urban heat island effect is seen, and negative effects of climate change are felt more. One of the focal issues for those seeking solutions against all these effects is green infrastructures. Green infrastructures are an important issue for smart and sustainable cities with their multifunctional features such as ecological, economic, social and health. University campuses resemble cities with their buildings, roads and green areas. Campuses are important areas for sustainability with their area sizes, amount of energy and water used, waste, transportation and open green areas. The aim of the study is to indicate the importance of green infrastructure applications for the smart city approach. Within the framework of examining the concepts of smart city, green infrastructure and sustainable campus in the literature, Yıldız Technical University Davutpaşa Campus smart green campus applications are evaluated. The campus stands out with its water and energy management, biodiversity, waste, transportation and increasing green areas for reducing impermeable surfaces. With these physical features, there are smart applications for campus residents. Campuses are small residential areas that can serve as examples for smart cities.
