Abstract

Green Infrastructure (GI) has been a long-established concept to tackle climate change since the 1980s. However, the realization of Green Infrastructure has only been around since 21st century. China as one of leading actors in international communities and development, has adopted this concept in their domestic and international investment. China succeeded in implementing the green infrastructure in many parts of the world including Southeast Asian region, while many countries do not able to commit to the concept in their real infrastructure development strategies. China through Belt Road Initiative (BRI) has influenced many regions and countries as the host for China^s investment and projects in green technology and sustainable architecture in their development of infrastructure. This paper aims to discuss China^s investment through BRI and its influence of green architecture in the ASEAN member countries^ development of infrastructure.
