Abstract
Green infrastructure (GI) is a vital strategy for climate change adaptation and urban sustainability, yet integrating its multifunctionality remains significantly challenging. This study develops a sustainability-oriented optimization framework for GI systems, incorporating emergy analysis, multi-objective optimization, and regional climate models. It highlights a sound cross-domain assessment and addresses real-world challenges such as limited data availability and tight timelines. This framework is applied to two cases across different countries and reveals that GI project sustainability varies by site-specific factors and national contexts. Common findings underscore the high priority of green roofs, which, combined with rain gardens or sunken greens, are eco-friendly, cost-effective, and multifunctional. Permeable pavements, despite previous economic advantages, show lower sustainability. Sensitivity analysis reveals the importance of parameters related to green roofs and the emergy money ratio. This research provides robust decision support for stakeholders and advances GI planning, offering novel insights into sustainable urban practices under climate change.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
