In this chapter, we analyse the current state of the art on how green infrastructures mitigate and adapt to climate changes and pollution, how they may improve urban air quality, increase green mobility, and can promote other important ecosystem benefits as water cycle regulation and supply. Relevant case studies will be also described, as gaps and future perspectives will be analyzed towards reaching the full potential of urban forests and other green spaces, for Biocities in Europe and beyond.

Abstract

In this chapter, we analyse the current state of the art on how green infrastructures mitigate and adapt to climate changes and pollution, how they may improve urban air quality, increase green mobility, and can promote other important ecosystem benefits as water cycle regulation and supply. Relevant case studies will be also described, as gaps and future perspectives will be analyzed towards reaching the full potential of urban forests and other green spaces, for Biocities in Europe and beyond.
