While the integration of Green and Blue Infrastructure (GBI) through a "Greening Factor" is a positive step, it risks being overly formulaic & may not address deeper ecological concerns.The proposed policies rely heavily on a checklist approach, potentially missing the nuance of local environmental challenges. For instance, calculating GBI purely based on percentage coverage might overlook the quality and ecological value of spaces. Furthermore, the maintenance plans proposed may be insufficient to ensure long-term sustainability, as they depend on future management without guaranteeing that short-term development pressures don’t undermine the effectiveness of these green interventions, particularly in rapidly urbanizing areas
