Availability of Green infrastructure is supporting health and mitigating environmental sustainability challenges in the study area. Participants were more likely to report good health (OR:1.40 95%CI:1.02-1.92) and high mitigation of ESC where GI are mostly available. Good health (20.5%) and high mitigation of ESC (collection and disposal of waste-52.7% and official development assistance-63.9%) were reported where GI is mostly available. Participants were mostly men (58.9%) and younger than 50 years old (86.3%). Odds ratio with 95% confidence interval (OR 95%CI) were estimated for good health and ESC mitigation. Descriptive statistics and chi-square test were used to explore data distributions and assess association of the availability of GI with resident’s PH and ESC.

Multi-stage sampling technique was used to select 1858 residents of Lagos Metropolis who completed semi-structured questionnaires. This study examined the impact of GI on ESC and Perceived Health (PH) of urban residents in Lagos Metropolis, Nigeria. However, the extent of the mitigation and health benefits is unclear in developing countries. Green Infrastructure (GI) facilities have capacity to enhance health and mitigate Environmental Sustainability Challenges (ESC).
