“…These criteria offer an opportunity for a new urban design, urban drainage, infrastructure, and their integration within Chilean cities, and they certainly cost less than the construction of artificial parks and traditional gray infrastructure solutions; therefore, they can strengthen future projects that are aimed at nature-based solutions for these spaces with blue−green infrastructure, for example, green stormwater infrastructure such as that planned for the city of Portland [50], a city with a similar level of rainfall to that of Concepción. In any case, after frequent and severe disasters faced by Chile, some green infrastructure examples have proliferated, including the Kaukari Park along the Copiapó River [51], the mitigation parks in Constitución and Dichato [52,53], among others.…”

In an urbanized world, the sustainability of cities will depend on their form and urban structure. In this sense, fabrics that are compact, dense, green, and suitable for non-motorized transport methods are more environmentally efficient. For the purpose of contributing new tools to the design, urban planning, and sustainability of nature in residential areas, this study characterizes the urban fabrics of six urban wetlands in the Latin American city of Concepción (Chile), which is known for its blue–green spaces. In a wetland city, we model urban patterns through spatial relationship using a statistical regression model (OLS—ordinary least squares) with the urban variables of density, distance, population, housing, highways, green areas, and building permits. Concepción shows predominantly low- to medium-density fabrics, and it is not integrated with the urban wetlands. In fact, it was observed that the residential areas do not take advantage of the blue–green spaces and that the urban fabrics do not favor proximity, with a transportation network that promotes the use of cars, leading to the wetlands being inaccessible and fragmented. However, as they are still surrounded by open spaces with abundant vegetation, there are highly feasible opportunities for the future development of blue–green infrastructure.

“…Nevertheless, mud depositions later increase ambient PM 10 concentration due to suspended road dust [ 157 ]. The hydraulic design of the Kaukari fluvial park performed well during the 2015 floods, as only the vegetation was lost but the built structures were not damaged [ 158 ]. This large-scale urban infrastructure, under construction since 2011, aims to restore the abandoned riverbed of the Copiapó River in its section through the city and provide more protection against floods.…”

“…At the same time, the implementation of green spaces and wetlands within the park aims to bring social and environmental services [ 159 ]. By 2018, a third of the 160-ha park was completed [ 158 ].…”
