The research paper has focused on investigating green infrastructure (GI) and policies to diminish environmental challenges for sustainable urbanization in rapidly growing cities in India. Urban cities in this country have faced many environment-related issues like pollution, water crisis, waste management, lack of green areas and so on. These are causing health, social and economic issues. Therefore, it is important to implement green infrastructure and policies to mitigate these problems. The author has studied various research papers to gather in-depth knowledge. The secondary qualitative data collection method has been applied where four scholarly articles have been chosen to collect and analyze data via themes. It is seen that GI and certain policies have addressed environmental challenges. But due to overpopulation and overconsumption, the water crisis is rising causing water and air pollution. However, the author has also provided solutions to solve this situation through sustainable urbanization, proper groundwater and resource management, building more green spaces etc.
