Rapid urbanization in the Global South poses challenges to ecological integrity, cultural heritage, and equitable access green infrastructure. This study evaluates effectiveness of recent infrastructure projects Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, including flagship parks upgraded road corridors, through lens Urban Nature Futures Framework (UNFF). To operationalize UNFF’s three perspectives—Nature for (NN), Society (NS), as Culture (NC)—a context-specific set indicators was developed existing literature, global assessment frameworks, stakeholder consultations. A mixed-methods approach, combining structured surveys with both qualitative quantitative thematic analysis, applied across four groups: residents, park visitors, corridor users, experts. The results indicate that while social benefits (NS) are widely recognized, (NN) (NC) dimensions receive comparatively less emphasis. Regression analysis shows education, employment, space use frequency significantly shape perceptions NS NC, NN more consistently shared groups. demonstrates practical value UNFF an tool offers a replicable methodology evaluating multifunctional findings underscore need inclusive, biodiversity-positive, culturally grounded urban renewal strategies. These insights relevant planners policymakers aiming foster resilient environments rapidly growing cities.
