2. The article by Gill, et al discusses the following benefits of urban greenspace EXCEPT 1.Create cooler microclimates 2.Provide habitat 3.Reduce runoff

3. URBAN ECOLOGY Define “watershed” Define pervious and impervious Urban heat island Biodiversity Habitat Human experience

4. By the year 2030, 60% of the world’s populations will live in cities. King County grew 44% from 1970 - 2000, from 1.2 to 1.7 million residents.

5. WATERSHED A watershed is the area of land where all of the water that is under it or drains off of it goes into the same place.

8. URBAN WATERSHED Pervious: permeable Impervious: impermeable

10. VEGETATION Shading Evaporative cooling Rain capture and filtration Habitat Recreation

11. Impacts multiple cycles: water, carbon, nutrient Resource consumption

12. URBAN HEAT ISLAND City warmer than its surroundings Modification of land surface by development and waste heat from energy use: heat absorption and lack of evaporative cooling

14. BIODIVERSITY diversity among and within plant and animal species in an environment

15. HABITAT Fragmented, isolated and degraded Simplified and homogenous species composition Modified ecosystem process Example: decomposition, fire, wind

17. DEMOCRATIC ACCESS

18. SUSTAINABILITY to support, hold, or bear up from below; to keep up or keep going, as an action or process

19. GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE An interconnected network of green space that conserves natural ecosystem values and functions, and provides associated benefits to human populations

20. To create a bold integrated Open Space Plan with implementation strategies for Seattle’s next 100 years, which will enhance the health and well-being of both cultural and natural environments. This vision of a regenerative green infrastructure will strive to create a healthy, beautiful Seattle while maximizing our economic, social, and ecological sustainability.
