| Abstract: | Urban Green Infrastructure (UGI) in India is currently undergoing a period of "terminal decline," a state where the rate of ecological degradation outpaces natural regeneration and institutional restoration. This paper provides a granular analysis of how systemic encroachment—driven by both informal occupation and state-led developmentalism—has decimated "urban sponges" (wetlands, floodplains, and pervious green cover). By analyzing Land-Use Land-Cover (LULC) transitions in Tier-I metros (e.g., Bengaluru, Chennai) and emerging Tier-II hubs (e.g., Indore, Pune), this report identifies a direct correlation between the dilution of zoning laws and the precipitous loss of biodiversity. The study quantifies the transition from "Green-Blue" networks to "Grey-Black" infrastructure, highlighting a $35\%$ average reduction in per capita green space over the last two decades. Finally, it proposes a "Green-Code" planning framework. This framework argues for a paradigm shift: treating ecological assets with the same statutory weight, budgetary allocation, and legal protection as critical transport or utility infrastructure. |
