Cover Story: Multifunctional green infrastructure is a key component of compact sustainable cities. GIS modeling and stakeholder engagement can assess and communicate the need for green infrastructure benefits in a Global South city facing rapid urbanization. In this study, green infrastructure benefits were mapped to provide oversight of multiple objectives for climate change adaptation, biodiversity, and spatial distribution of urban green space, and to guide decision making. Low-scoring benefit areas occur in dense urban areas needing small-scale nature-based solutions or rehabilitation. Moderate scores occur in parts of the city that are vulnerable to urban expansion and densification, and high-scoring areas can be protected as conservation areas. The role of decision support tools in urban planning is discussed. View this paper
