Introduction
City of Edinburgh Council (CEC) wished to develop the Green Blue Network, aiming for carbon neutrality by 2030 and enhanced urban resilience. The project integrated nature-based solutions, improved ecosystem services, and created a connected network of green and blue spaces. Using advanced GIS and geospatial analysis, we combined baseline data on environmental assets, climate risks, active travel, and social factors. Supporting Edinburgh’s Cityplan 2030 and City Vision 2050, the study identified opportunities to enhance health, wellbeing, and sustainability through a comprehensive approach to urban planning.
