Cover Story: This research examined the complexity of peri-urban landscapes (urban and green infrastructure), specifically in the Harku municipality, Estonia. The aim was to understand how cultural ecosystem services (CESs) and residents’ well-being interact. Scenarios were created from secondary data on residents’ environmental and recreational perceptions and the authors’ previous work on landscape belts and CES values. Evidence showed satisfaction with coastal and green spaces but a decline with agricultural and industrial areas. Threats from rapid urbanization were identified, and recommendations were proposed. The goal was to develop sustainable strategies for preserving nature through ecosystem service-based frameworks, enhance community well-being, and account for landscape dynamics through scenario planning.
