Value of Green Urban Spaces Evaluation, Management and Communication as a key for climate resilient and near-natural green spaces

The research projekt aims at supporting communal activities for indentifying, selecting and realising measures of public green space that at the same time enhance climate resilience of urban space and contribute to the conservation of biodiversity. Therefore core ecosystem services of green urban space will be analysed and economically valued in order to make its benefit more visible. One of the core products is an online tool that enables communities to validate the manifold effects of urban green space and so generating arguments for its conservation and extension. Together with the four communal partners a communication and participation strategy will be developed and tested in order to activate further players for public green conservation.
