Abstract
The spatial expansion of cities results in the loss of natural resources. It is therefore crucial to maintain ecological performance by balancing the land used for human purposes with efforts to restore or protect natural habitats. Here, we investigate how to transform brownfields into multifunctional urban green infrastructure. We use a GIS-based multi-criteria evaluation model to prioritise the brownfields in Rouen metropolis. We show that (1) the integration of site suitability and urban ecological demand is required, (2) Coupling Coordination Degree serves as an appropriate model for determining the interaction and coordination of site suitability and urban ecological demand.
