Abstract
Ecosystem services delivered by green infrastructure (GI) and their influence on the quality of life in cities is a dynamically developing research field in Europe. Actions undertaken in this topic are stimulated by EU, which encourage Member States to map and assess the state of ecosystems and their services in their territories. An important step implementing these guidelines in Poland was a pilot study, commissioned by the Ministry of the Environment, which included a comparative analysis of the largest agglomerations in Poland in terms of the distribution of GI and their potential for providing ecosystem services. The aim of this paper is to present the approach proposed in this study and its main findings.
