Regions of varying spatial scales throughout the world are beginning to plan for the effects of climate change. In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, the city has implemented the program Green Cities, Clean Waters using a variety of green infrastructure techniques to manage stormwater runoff and reduce the number of combined sewer overflow events. This study analyzed the potential of Green City, Clean Waters to help adapt the city to the future consequences of climate change. When implemented effectively, green infrastructure can produce a variety of ecosystem services; therefore, increasing an area's resilience to potential ecosystem alterations, such as increases in summer temperatures and precipitation. Using a hybrid of machine learning and cellular automata tools, three future landcover models of Philadelphia were created to forecast the spatial distribution of continued urbanization and green infrastructure throughout the city. The landcover models were then used to analyze how green infrastructure may function in the near-term, mid-century, and end-of-century. Two climate change scenarios, Representative Concentration Pathway 4.5 and 8.5, were used to understand the range of possible high summer temperatures and large rain events in the future. Green infrastructure was found to decrease both runoff and surface temperature throughout Philadelphia over time. Yet, as the city is predicted to grow warmer, wetter, and more urban, runoff and local temperatures still increase on average throughout the city, despite the growth of green infrastructure. For true climate change resiliency to be achieved, green infrastructure projects will have to continue beyond Philadelphia's current green infrastructure program, so the city can continue to function as it does today.
