User:Tigerfish321/Evaluate an Article

Which article are you evaluating?
(Green infrastructure.)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because it has become more common in neighborhoods especially here in Arizona. In my capstone class, we are doing a project on the urban heat island effect here in Tempe, Arizona therefore I have become more interested in solutions such as incorporating more green infrastructure in order to cool down temperatures in hot locations. My preliminary impression of the article was that it had a lot of information but looks like it was repetitive.

The lead section of the Green Infrastructure article has a good introduction with a semi detailed summary of what the article entails. In the intro, when it mentions what the article touches on, it is hyperlinked therefore it is easily accessible to go to the specific section within the full article. The content among the article is highly relevant to the topic as it is divided into different sections that relate to green infrastructure. There are some sections among the article that seem a bit repetitive, for example Blue Infrastructure, Urban Forests, Constructed Wetlands, and Barriers all have sections about benefits, and while at first it seems normal but the more you look at them they are written essentially the same. The article does not seem up to date as in the last few years and has a section that only goes to the 20th century therefore this is something that can be edited and added to. There are good examples of how different countries are implementing solutions like green infrastructure. I wouldn't say the article is not neutral, but I can confidently say from reading it many times now that it feels there is great benefit of the addition of green infrastructure. The overall article has good imaged that relate the the section of the article as well as relevant sources. It is definitely an article that can have changes made to it in the sense of organization and current information but it is well written otherwise.
