| Summary: | The aim of the paper is to present green infrastructure planning within the
concept of climate-smart cities. In this context the use of Geographic
Information Systems (GIS), as part of green infrastructure planning, is
stressed in the establishment of climate-smart cities. In addition to
presenting international examples of good practice, such as using GIS data,
maps and tools for support in the USA, or designing a tool for water
management and water infrastructure planning in Chicago, the paper provides
an insight into the current status of green infrastructure planning in
Serbia. The “Green regulation of Belgrade” project is presented as a
representative example. The conclusions emphasise that the main preconditions
for achieving climate-smart and green cities include legal and planning
frameworks, as well as appropriate strategic and other programs that will
further encourage the creation of GIS for green areas and create the
conditions for climate-smart green infrastructure planning. [Project of the
