Sustainable urban development is a challenge that requires handling of different goals and conflicts, such as between a dense urban structure on one hand, and the need for ecosystem services on the other. The Green Area Ratio is a type of planning tool used to ensure a certain amount of vegetation and water in the built environment. The purpose of this report is to provide a knowledge basis to integrate ecosystem services in spatial planning. The goal is to provide an overview of the use of The Green Area Ratio in Sweden as well as the experience gained. The Green Area Ratio is used in at least 15 municipalities. There is currently no systematic evaluation of how the Green Area Ratio contributes to ecosystem services. Even if it might change the rules in planning, it is not obvious that this leads to a satisfactory built environment. The Green Area Ratio is a general type of planning tool and it therefore lacks an adoption to the site-specific needs of ecosystem services.
