DESCRIPTOR: The definition of meaningful and multifunctional GREEN INFRASTRUCTURES and the maximization of the associated ECOSYSTEM SERVICES will be the central objectives of this course.
Apart from the formal definition of Green Infrastructures, the course will explore the performance of Green Infrastructures, assessing with the adequate indicators their environmental, ecological and social functions, making objective and transmittable the benefits that they can provide, and showing how all the scales and contexts can contribute to the CREATION OF MORE SUSTAINABLE REGIONS AND CITIES.
In order to apply the acquired knowledge, the course will include a set of CASE STUDIES IN DIFFERENT FINNISH CITIES, in which the defined Green infrastructures will be expected to fully express their ecological, social and sustainable potentials, both at the domestic and regional scales.
