In the present, regional policy faces the demanding task of developing suitable decision-making tools for regional development that will effectively take into account the need to mitigate climate impacts. Blue-green infrastructure (BGI) emerges as one of the most promising tools in this field. BGI represents an integrated approach that harnesses the synergistic effect of natural and civic systems to manage water, regulate climate, and protect biodiversity. This comprehensive approach not only helps reduce the risks of floods, soil erosion, and drought but also contributes to improving the environment and the quality of life of residents. In our contribution, we focus on the agricultural landscape interconnected with the urbanized part of the Nitra region. In the Nitra region, which includes not only the city of Nitra but also 12 urban districts with 39 surrounding municipalities and a total population of 164,820, the construction of an extensive BGI network is proposed as a crucial part of measures to adapt to climate change. This network of natural and semi-natural measures is to be closely integrated into regional development plans with the aim of supporting sustainable development and increasing the region's resilience to ever-growing climate challenges. Our contribution informs the reader about the benefits of BGI in the design of the concept of regional development as a requirement set by the state based on the strategy of building elements to mitigate climate change with an emphasis on landscape activities and the urbanized landscape.
