A University of Sheffield project demonstrating how multiple ecosystem services can be quantified using easily accessible/publicly available data to produce maps of 6 key ecosystem services in a large urban area: the city of Sheffield. The aim was to understand the spatial pattern of ecosystem service provision in Sheffield. The modelling approach was assessed to see if it was possible to identify priority areas for creating hotspots of ecosystem service provision, and whether the unit at which services are mapped matters for decision-making. Detecting trade-offs and synergies associated with particular urban designs will enable more informed decisions for achieving urban sustainability. This work has been of broad interest particularly to The Sheffield Wildlife Trust, Sheffield City Council, The National Trust and the Sheffield Green Infrastructure Consortium.
