19 -Measure of the distribution of public greenspace (total surface or per capita) and categories (i.e., street trees, residential gardens, school green areas, parks) using more applied and participatory approaches as an index to increase quality/quantity of green/blue existing, restored and new NBS with a high degree of multifunctionality (informed by ES Valuation e.g., includes cultural ES value, needs of residents, socio-economics etc) and adapted to the type of urban area (e.g., size of urban area/landscape structure).
20 -
21 -Public greenspace in cities contributes to quality of life in terms of environmental services and social and psychological services. Public greenspace distribution can therefore be an important factor for making a city sustainable. Decisions on where to create greenspace/NBS should be based on criteria related to maximising the equitability of distribution, focusing on areas lacking greenspace and in areas where ES valuation identifies greatest benefit/need.
22 -
23 -Mears and Brindley (2019) provide a comprehensive review of metrics for assessing the equity of greenspace in urban areas. Within this process, they highlight the importance of generating comparable data across cities and projects, and the importance of incorporating the neighbourhood as experienced by residents as accurately as possible. Data on public greenspace distribution generated in these ways can be used to: 
24 -
25 -* Quantify the benefits of nature-based solution project in terms of improving the distribution of public greenspace;
26 -* Support the planning of new nature-based solution greenspace initiatives;
27 -* Underpin other indicators that require an understanding of greenspace distribution as a foundation.

72 -====== **Calculation methods** ======

74 -* A variety of methods exist from applied/public participation techniques through to earth observation/remote sensing approaches.
75 -* **Mapping green spaces with GIS: **Whilst it is possible to physically map green spaces across cities, this tends to be a laborious and expensive process. As such, typically, public greenspace distribution would be measured through a mapping exercise that interrogates aerial photography and/or satellite imagery in a GIS environment (e.g. QuickBird satellite imageries analyses).
76 -* **Combining with census data: **This can be combined with census data to determine demographics in relation to population distribution (de la Barrera et al. 2016). Such methods provide very basic insight into the distribution of green space in relation to population patterns. Supplementing these with methods to categorise urban greenspace (e.g. differentiating street trees, residential gardens, school green areas, parks, etc) and including variables that cover socio-economic, geographic and administrative aspects can provide greater evidence for supporting equality in urban greenspace distribution.
77 -* **Optional- Participatory mapping: **Participatory approaches provide an opportunity for generating such data and/or ground-truthing the results from remote sensing data analyses. This includes the use of public participation GIS to map greenspaces overlooked by automated methods, and the use of public knowledge to categorise landuse types (Rall et al. 2019).

81 -====== **Level of expertise required** ======
82 -)))|(((
83 -* Expertise in relation to mapping and modelling will be necessary. Also expertise in leading participatory processes would be of value to maximise the quality of outputs.
84 -* Some map datasets and satellite imagery are freely available online, but higher resolution images and more comprehensive data needed for network-based measures potentially can involve licence fees/higher costs. Costs for GIS specialists if not available in-house. Participatory GIS can also involve costs in relation to designing a portal, hosting the webpage, generating engagement, and analysing data.
