- Evaluation of Green Plans
Green infrastructure is defined only in the plan of 2017 as a “physical green environment within Addis Ababa city.” It is a network of multifunctional open spaces, including formal park gardens, woodlands, green corridors, waterways, street plantations, and open courtyards (AACPC 2017). The definition explicitly referred to types of GI elements and...
4.2.1 Coordination with other strategic domains
Weak coordination was observed between GI and water management; built-up development; food provision; increasing the quality of life; climate change in the 2017 plan. This plan emphasizes the need to develop multifunctional green spaces (AACPPO 2017) for the environmental protection of the city. Regarding the coordination with water management planning, this plan recognizes multifunctional green space that contributes to the reduction of flood risks, but without providing information on actio...
4.2.2 Multifunctionality
The multifunctionality principle in the 2017 plan was mentioned in terms of ecosystem services. In this plan, the ecological functions of GI were strongly considered as the ecosystem services approach that considers the multifunctionality principles of ecosystem services. The plan was not stated GI planning principles. The social, economic, and cultural functions of GI were poorly considered in this plan but varied in consideration. The plan also stated the economic benefits of GI in terms of...
4.2.3 Connectivity
The structural connectivity such as the physical relationships between components of an ecological network was poorly considered in two plans (2002; 2017). The 2017 plan envisages the ecological network based on the provision of networked and functional green spaces, and the other plan (2002) considers the connectivity in terms of elements of open space design while in the one plan (1986) structural connectivity of GI was not considered. The functional connectivity for animal and plant specie...
As compared with the six criteria, recreationhas been received more emphasis through increasing the per capita accessible green space and providing multiple ecosystem services in the future. However, the accessibility of green spaces in the two plans (2002; 2017) is stated in terms of geographic distribution without considering the barriers. Access...
Jun 25, 2021 · The results indicate that rapid urbanization is the major cause of flooding in Addis Ababa, spiking from 80.1 km 2 in 1984 to 287.9 km 2 in 2020 and expected to increase to 367.1 km 2 in 2030 under a business-as-usual scenario. The fast urbanization has increased the number of flooding susceptible woredas (smallest administrative units) to a direct runoff depth of 25 mm from 40 in 1984 to 81 ...

Jul 26, 2023 · Net upsurge of spatially connected built-up patches were founded (core areas) with annual growth rate of -0.07% between 1990–2000 and 3.2% during 2010–2020. Despite this, Addis Ababa were characterized by rapid growth of spatially disconnected built-up growth (urban sprawl) about 44.6% in 1990 and 60.4% in 2020.
