Abstract: Green infrastructure can effectively coordinate environmental, social and economic development, and has become one of the important strategies to achieve sustainable development. This study used CiteSpace and VOSviewer to analyze 2194 papers in the field of green infrastructure published from 1995 to 2019 in the Web of Science database using the bibliometrics and visualization methods. Results demonstrate a substantial increase in the number of studies on green infrastructure in recent years, with European and American countries leading the study of green infrastructure. Landscape and Urban Planning, Urban Forestry & Urban Greening, and Journal of Environmental Management are the first three cited journals in green infrastructure study. By studying co-cited literature, the study of green infrastructure has been found to involve the relationship between green infrastructure and ecosystem and human health, construction, evaluation and management of green infrastructure, and analysis of a special aspect of green infrastructure, among others. Clustering analysis results of green infrastructure keywords indicate that the existing studies have concentrated on green infrastructure in stormwater management, ecosystem services, biodiversity protection, and climate change. This study provides references for green infrastructure for sustainable environment development.
