Cover Story: Urban planning regulations already consider mandatory compensation for the loss of nature. However, compensation is often restricted to replacing green with green in other locations, without considering the whole range of ecosystem services. This might lead to the loss of ecosystem services in areas subject to urban development, a loss that would eventually be replaced elsewhere. Therefore, a wide range of assessments should be included in urban planning to improve the environmental conditions of urban landscapes where development takes place. Our findings show that an ecosystem services assessment provides a solid basis for the selection of development alternatives, the identification of compensation areas, and the estimation of compensation amounts, with the benefit of improving the environmental quality of the areas affected by urban development.
