Scientific knowledge of urban ecosystems can support urban planning at different stages of policy and for various spatial scales; hence it can help policy-making for sustainable cities, a pilot study shows. It has produced a harmonised indicator framework which can be applied to other cities.
Carried out in 10 European cities, the study provides guidance for mapping urban ecosystems and includes an indicator framework to assess the condition of urban ecosystems and the services they provide.
The study was carried out in cooperation with the Commission’s Directorate-General for Environment, the European Environment Agency (EEA) and city authorities from across Europe. Ten cities – Cascais, Oeiras and Lisbon (Portugal); Padua, Trento, Rome; (Italy); Utrecht (Netherlands); Poznań (Poland); Barcelona (Spain) and Oslo (Norway) – were at the core of the pilot, carried out in the framework of the EU initiative on Mapping and Assessment of Ecosystems and their Services (MAES).
