Based on a comprehensive analysis of key definitions of Green Infrastructure (GI) and their conceptual evolution, we present a review of current GI mapping approaches at multiple spatial scales and their associated functional analyses. GI is an approach that is used to combine ecosystem services and human well-being to realize an efficient and sust...
The aim of this study is to provide an integrated indicator framework for the Assessment of Multifunctional Green Infrastructure (AMGI) to advance the evolution of the Green Infrastructure (GI) concept, and simultaneously deliver an approach do conduct a GI assessment using remote sensing datasets at multiple spatial and spectral scales. Based on t...

The entire process of sustainable urban development is creative, changeable and challengeable. It requires new urban and landscape planning methods and government responses as well as management capacities to mitigate climate change, halt biodiversity loss and enhance ecosystem services. As an innovative planning...
Urbanization processes spur the need for urban green infrastructure (GI) to support the well-being of urban dwellers and underpin a sustainable planning strategy. It is a challenge for urban planning to make cities equitable in a socio-spatial way for which strategic planning are demanded based on measured gradients of spatial equity for GI. Strate...
The mapping and assessment of ecosystems and their services (MAES) is key to inform sustainable policy and decision-making at national and sub-national levels. Responding to the paucity of research in sub-Saharan Africa, we conduct a pilot study for Eritrea that aims to map and assess the temporal dynamics of key ecosystems and their services. We r...
In fast urbanizing cities, fragmentation of urban green infrastructure (UGI) commonly arises due to lack of efficient planning to maintain the quantity and improve their quality. As ecological processes and landscape patterns are closely intertwined, it is a prerequisite to investigate landscape structure when aiming at better provision of ecosyste...
Urban green space (UGS) is a complex and highly dynamic interface between people and nature. The existing methods of quantifying and evaluating UGS are mainly implemented on the surface features at a landscape scale, and most of them are insufficient to thoroughly reflect the spatial-temporal relationships, especially the internal characteristics c...
Inefficient urban land redevelopment is an important policy of Chinese government to achieve sustainable urban development. Currently, the decision-making mechanism in practice is lack of scientific support, which considerably affects the policy effectiveness. Previous studies focused on the redevelopment suitability, with seldom consideration dire...
Developing green infrastructure (GI) has drawn increasing attention as a strategic planning approach for advancing urban sustainability. The connectivity of green spaces, a central principle of GI, has been considered in planning studies regarding its structure and functions for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem services delivery; however, as...

Session14 ‐ Recent advances in green and blue infrastructure ecosystem services and disservices. From rural to urban spaces
Based on a comprehensive analysis of key definitions of Green Infrastructure (GI) and their conceptual evolution, we present a review of current GI mapping approaches at multiple spatial scales and their associated functional analyses. GI is an approach that is used to combine ecosystem services and human well-being to realize an efficient and sust...

Goal: To secure more resource efficiency concerning urban land use and adapted infrastructure (e.g. water infrastructure, green and grey infrastructure)
To improve the urban quality of life by ensuring urban ecosystem services and achieving environmental justice
To amplify the resilience of cities, their inhabitants and infrastructure to unexpected events such as environmental hazards.
To develop, assess and optimise options and strategies towards sustainable urban development regarding resource efficiency, quality of life and resilience.
Methods: Remote Sensing, Statistics, Geographic Information System Software, Citizen Participation, Field Mapping
