“…Green infrastructure creates a network of physical green spaces, continuously utilizes urban recreational functions, provides natural ecosystem services to humans, and offers solutions to urban social problems [11][12][13]. The concept of ecosystem services was defined and popularized by the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA) [14].…”

“…Thus, green infrastructure is an important means of creating a more sustainable urban environment with an improved quality of life [15,16]. Numerous studies have focused on implementing innovative green infrastructure, including three-dimensional road parks, smart parks, and low-impact development, to reshape urban landscapes and uncover synergies within urban nature domains for sustainable growth [13,17]. Despite these efforts, there remains a notable research gap in the examination of street trees, traditional contributors to road-based green infrastructure.…”

Cities must overcome their limitations on quantitative growth by pursuing sustainable development. Road-centered development leads to social problems, including inequality, during urban expansion. This study focuses on quantifying the ecosystem services provided by street trees in the Gangnam and Gangbuk Districts of Seoul, South Korea. This research utilized public data and field surveys conducted between April and August 2023, which is the best time to grow coniferous and deciduous trees. The results helped quantify the improvement in the air quality and ecological economic value from the perspective of plant species structure and carbon storage. The street trees in Gangnam stored 3691.61 t (metric tons) and sequestered 359.45 t of carbon; removed 2.28 t of air pollutants; and reduced 3977.46 m3 of rainwater runoff annually. In contrast, the street trees in Gangbuk stored 831.61 t and sequestered 74.97 t of carbon; removed 0.4 t of air pollutants; and annually reduced rainwater runoff by 1491.74 m3. By quantifying the ecosystem services of street trees, this study showed a gap in the supply of ecosystem services, which are relatively poor in economically poor areas, thus contributing to a more holistic understanding of urban growth and advocating for inclusive and socially equitable development strategies and management policies in Seoul.

In the face of escalating climate change impacts, Southeast Asia is witnessing a growing urgency to fortify regional cities against extreme temperatures and the exacerbating effects of El Niño events. This work delves into the role of urban water technologies in bolstering heat-resilient infrastructure across the region. This work also assesses urban water technologies that can contribute to the development of heat-resilient infrastructure in urban areas. This involves examining innovative approaches that can help mitigate the impacts of extreme temperatures on water infrastructure and enhance its resilience to climate change. They include green infrastructure, decentralized water systems, and advanced cooling technologies that have the potential to improve the resilience of urban water infrastructure to heat stress and extreme temperatures. Through empirical studies, this study underscores the imperative for proactive measures to enhance urban resilience in the region. The implications of this work offer practical insights for policymakers, urban planners, and stakeholders to bolster climate resilience in the region, emphasizing the role of water technologies in mitigating risks and enhancing adaptive capacity. By integrating urban technologies such as advanced cooling systems and green infrastructure, cities in the southeast Asia region not only can mitigate heat-related risks but also foster sustainable development pathways.
