Σύνοψη	Constructed wetland design is an environmental engineering approach that harnesses natural biological and chemical processes—microorganism metabolism, plant uptake, soil sorption, sedimentation—to treat wastewater, stormwater, and agricultural runoff. Developed systematically in the 1970s by German researchers Seidel and Kickuth, constructed wetlands operate with minimal energy input and create amenity and biodiversity co-benefits alongside treatment. The design process integrates hydrology, biogeochemistry, and landscape planning to optimize contaminant removal.	Green infrastructure (GI) design is the planning and implementation of natural or nature-based systems (vegetation, soils, water bodies) integrated into urban environments to provide multiple ecosystem services: stormwater management, air quality improvement, heat island mitigation, biodiversity habitat, recreation, and social well-being. Emerged in the 2000s as a sustainability paradigm, green infrastructure combines landscape design, hydrology, ecology, and urban planning to create multifunctional spaces that serve practical and aesthetic goals.
