Key Findings
As urban populations grow, cities face challenges like pollution, poor air quality, and Urban Heat Islands (UHI). Urban Green Infrastructures (GIs) can enhance sustainability and resilience. This study proposes a method to evaluate public perception of green spaces, using participatory planning and social multi-criteria evaluation to guide resilient urban development.
