What turns us off about green and blue spaces in cities? Understanding perceived problems and unpleasant experiences for more just urban planning, design and management
The planning, design and management of urban green and blue spaces necessitate trade‐offs between these spaces' many benefits and their drawbacks, but knowledge of perceived problems and unpleasant experiences in urban green and blue spaces remains limited. In this study, we analyse the descriptions of disliked urban green and blue spaces identified in a participatory mapping survey (PPGIS) administered to a representative sample ( n = 2900) of r…
Rethinking nature-based solutions in informal settlements
Exposure to climate extremes, lack of financial resources and robust infrastructure, and limited institutional support make informal settlements particularly vulnerable to environmental stressors. Nature-based solutions (NbS) can be a viable avenue to increase climate resilience; however, the majority of NbS research at scale comes from urban areas with established gray infrastructure (i.e. sewage, stormwater drainage, roads). Current NbS impleme…
New York City 2100
NYC stakeholders co-produced future scenarios for urban resilience to extreme heat. • Business-as-usual land development reinforces existing environmental injustices. • Co-produced green infrastructure scenario increased heat mitigation by 108% • Co-produced green infrastructure scenario increased flood mitigation by 55% • Anticipatory urban planning can address climate resilience and environmental justice. Climate-driven hazards, such as extreme…
Shifting more‐than‐human relationships amidst social–ecological disturbance
Social–ecological disruptions, such as changing climate, extreme weather‐related events and the COVID‐19 pandemic, can have cascading and long‐term consequences for people, ecosystems and multispecies relationships. As the early COVID‐19 pandemic disrupted people's lives through isolation and restricted human contact, more‐than‐human relationships played a heightened role in individuals' day‐to‐day lives with potential long‐term impacts on multis…
Unearthing the role of soils in urban climate resilience planning
Co-producing new knowledge systems for resilient and just coastal cities
Effects on perceptions of greenspace benefits during the Covid-19 pandemic
Calls for investment in green infrastructures, which can provide a range of ecosystem services in support of sustainability and resilience, are increasing amidst the climate crisis.The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed for many the important benefits of greenspace to cultural ecosystem services, particularly to individuals' own assessments of their mental and emotional health, or subjective well-being (SWB).This pandemic has also revealed the uneven…
Comparing relationships between urban heat exposure, ecological structure, and socio-economic patterns in Beijing and New York City
Relating social, ecological, and technological vulnerability to future flood exposure at two spatial scales in four U.S. cities
Assessing resilience, equity, and sustainability of future visions across two urban scales
Cities need to take swift action to deal with the impacts of extreme climate events. The co-production of positive visions offers the potential to not only imagine but also intervene in guiding change toward more desirable urban futures. While participatory visioning continues to be used as a tool for urban planning, there needs to be a way of comparing and evaluating future visions so that they can inform decision-making. Traditional tools for c…
A social-ecological-technological systems framework for urban ecosystem services
Beyond bouncing back? Comparing and contesting urban resilience frames in US and Latin American contexts
Urban resilience has gained considerable popularity in planning and policy to address cities’ capacity to cope with climate change. While many studies discuss the different ways that academics define resilience, little attention has been given to how resilience is conceptualized across different urban contexts and among the actors that engage in building resilience ‘on the ground’. Given the implications that resilience frames can have for the so…
The co-production of sustainable future scenarios
Scenarios are a tool to develop plausible, coherent visions about the future and to foster anticipatory knowledge. We present the Sustainable Future Scenarios (SFS) framework and demonstrate its application through the Central Arizona-Phoenix Long-term Ecological Research (CAP LTER) urban site. The SFS approach emphasizes the co-development of positive and long-term alternative future visions. Through a collaboration of practitioner and academic …
Integrating existing climate adaptation planning into future visions
Cities face a number of challenges to ensure that people’s well-being and ecosystem integrity are not only maintained but improved for current and future generations. Urban planning must account for the diverse and changing interactions among the social, ecological, and technological systems (SETS) of a city. Cities struggle with long-range approaches to explore, anticipate, and plan for sustainability and resilience—and scenario development is o…
Simulating alternative sustainable water futures
Meta-studies in land use science
Land use science has traditionally used case-study approaches for in-depth investigation of land use change processes and impacts. Meta-studies synthesize findings across case-study evidence to identify general patterns. In this paper, we provide a review of meta-studies in land use science. Various meta-studies have been conducted, which synthesize deforestation and agricultural land use change processes, while other important changes, such as u…
