Sustainable palm fruit harvesting as a pathway to conserve Amazon peatland forests
Urban flood risks and emerging challenges in a Chinese delta: The case of the Pearl River Delta
Land-use, transport and vehicle technology futures: An air pollution assessment of policy combinations for the Cambridge Sub-Region of the UK
A multi-hazard map of China
Inequality in Beijing: A Spatial Multilevel Analysis of Perceived Environmental Hazard and Self-Rated Health
Environmental pollution is a major problem in China, subjecting people to significant health risk. Surprisingly little is known, though, about how these risks are distributed spatially or socially. Drawing on a large-scale survey conducted in Beijing in 2013, we examine how environmental hazards and health, as perceived by residents, are distributed at a fine (subdistrict) scale in urban Beijing and investigate the association between hazards, he…
Who benefits from environmental policy? An environmental justice analysis of air quality change in Britain, 2001–2011
Air quality in Great Britain has improved in recent years, but not enough to prevent the European Commission (EC) taking legal action for non-compliance with limit values. Air quality is a national public health concern, with disease burden associated with current air quality estimated at 29 000 premature deaths per year due to fine particulates, with a further burden due to NO2. National small-area analyses showed that in 2001 poor air quality w…
Daily travel behaviour in Beijing, China: An analysis of workers' trip chains, and the role of socio-demographics and urban form
Developing a Sustainable Flood Risk Appraisal (SFRA) Framework for the Pearl River Delta
Intensive storms enhanced flooding is fast emerging as one of the biggest threats to urbanization in Asia. The need to manage this risk is critical for achieving a sustainable growth pattern. The authors study the Pearl River Delta (PRD) and propose a generic sustainable flood risk appraisal (SFRA) framework that can be used to benchmark flood risk management (FRM) practice against sustainability objectives. The framework addresses social, enviro…
Growing Cities Sustainably: Does Urban Form Really Matter?
Problem, research strategy, and findings: It is commonly asserted that so-called compact development is the urban form most able to sustainably accommodate growth by reducing travel distances and conserving land, but credible supportive evidence remains limited. This study rigorously and realistically tested the relative performance of spatial options over the next 30 years for three distinct kinds of English city regions. Statistical models firs…
Flood Risk in Asia’s Urban Mega-deltas: Drivers, Impacts and Response
Asia’s urbanized mega-deltas are experiencing increased incidences of flooding. Flood risk is increasing due to urban growth, which makes people more vulnerable and threatens economic assets, and due to factors that increase flood hazard, including reduced delta aggradation, subsidence though natural resource extraction, and climate change, including extreme weather events, such as typhoons, and sea level rise. The recent history of flooding in A…
Longitudinal environmental justice analysis: Co-evolution of environmental quality and deprivation in England, 1960–2007
Land Use, Transport, and Carbon Futures: The Impact of Spatial Form Strategies in Three UK Urban Regions
Land-use and transport systems are an important determinant of carbon dioxide emissions from urban regions. It is often asserted that urban compaction is the spatial policy best able to constrain travel and emissions, but evidence supporting this assertion is limited, particularly with respect to the combined emission from transport and land use. Here, using land-use-transport interaction models, a residential dwelling type model, and transport a…

An Environmental Justice Analysis of British Air Quality
This paper presents the results of the first national study of air quality in Britain to consider the implications of its distribution across over ten thousand local communities in terms of potential environmental injustice. We consider the recent history of the environmental justice debate in Britain, Europe, and the USA and, in the light of this, estimate how one aspect of air pollution, nitrogen dioxide (NO2) levels, affects different populati…
Demand forecasting as a tool for sustainable water resource management
Water is arguably the most critical of all resources, and its sustainable development is essential to any sustainable society. Current increases in demand, coupled with climate change-induced uncertainty over supply, means that UK water resources are closer to sustainability limits than ever before. Demand management is increasingly viewed as a key element of a sustainable water resource strategy, but must be supported by accurate demand forecast…
Henry Dyer: Engineer and Educational Innovator
Henry Dyer (1848‐1918), a Scottish engineer who had studied under William McQuorn Rankine at Glasgow University, was appointed founding Principal of the Imperial College of Technology, Tokyo (now Tokyo University), in 1872. Leading a team of brilliant young British scientists, including William Ayrton and John Perry, Dyer used that unique institution as an important instrument in the transformation of the primitive Japanese economy, and for creat…
Problems and Fundamentals of Sustainable Development Indicators
Measurement issues are of current concern to organizations faced with the task of promoting sustainability. Single figure aggregate indices of sustainable development (SD), primarily designed for use at the national scale, are not readily applicable locally and are a poor guide for decision-makers and citizens wishing to promote local sustainability. This has led to an abundance of sustainable development indicator (SDI) sets, each comprising a b…
Picabue: A methodological framework for the development of indicators of sustainable development
Significant interest in the concept of sustainable development exists amongst scientists, planners, policy makers and the public, and considerable effort and expenditure is made or envisaged at local, national and international levels to promote a more sustainable society. Until ‘green accounting’ and similar systems are made available and are implemented, the sustainability indicator will be the most effective tool available for monitoring progr…
