What is it about?
The well-being of urban citizens appears to be closely linked to the correlation between the growth of urban areas and to the availability of green spaces. The conservation and the enhancement of the Green Infrastructure (GI) can be considered a Nature-Based Solution (NBS) to improve the sustainability of urban development. From this perspective, it is important to identify priority areas close to existing GIs suitable to be preserved from further urban encroachment.

Why is it important?
The proposedmethodology could be used: (i) by decision makers, looking for NBS in the design and planning of sustainable development of the city; and (ii) to enhance GI connectivity.
Perspectives
Adopting an ecological approach to future urban planning will become increasingly more crucial for maintaining the long-term sustainability of existing GIs and preserving environmental and social benefits
