Stormwater is a resource, and street is place of stormwater collection in city. The conventional street stormwater management (SM) treats the stormwater as a waste and causes many problems. Green street (GS) is a new method to manage street stormwater runoff. By analyzing the GS origin, definition and functions, it can draw a conclusion that GS originates from America. It is a street that uses natural process to manage stormwater runoff at the source, and combines the street SM with street landscape design. It can reduce stormwater runoff, filter the runoff pollutants, create attractive streetscape, etc. Also, the GS design has five different basic models, including stormwater curb extension (SCE), stormwater planter (SP), stormwater swale (SS), infiltration garden (IG) and pervious paving (PP). Finally, aimed to the residential street (RS), commercial street (CS), arterial street (AS), Alley and parking lot (PL), offer the practical models of how SCE, SP, SS, IG and PP could be integrated into GS landscape design combined with SM.
