The challenge of GI mainstreaming within market-led planning and development systems: Assessing attitudes and experiences of regime level actors
This article examines the challenges of green infrastructure (GI) mainstreaming within market-led planning and development systems, where the incorporation of GI depends on how developers, professional consultancies and public planning authorities interpret regulatory expectations, financial risk and development value within project decision-making. Drawing on elite interviews, the study explores how these market-facing actors negotiate the deliv…
Exploring domestic garden identities: Personal histories from older people in the Netherlands
Domestic gardens are spaces imbued with meaning, expression, and identity. This paper seeks to explore garden identities across their lifespan in the Netherlands by investigating older people’s personal histories through thematic analysis. Oral history interviews (n = 20) were conducted in 2019 with residents living in Breda and Tilburg, two medium-sized cities in the south of the Netherlands. The findings suggest that garden identities change ov…

Integrating knowledge on green infrastructure, health and well-being in ageing populations: Principles for research and practice
Ageing and urbanisation pose significant challenges for public health and urban planning. Ageing populations are at particular risk from hazards arising from urbanisation processes, some of which are in turn exacerbated by climate change. One approach for mitigating the negative effects of urbanisation on ageing populations is the leveraging of the beneficial effects of urban green infrastructure as a public health intervention in the planning pr…
Wellbeing, environmental sustainability and profitability: Including plurality of logics in participatory extension programmes for enhanced farmer resilience
Environmental sustainability and economic challenges are requiring significant change in the agricultural sector, and this is driving an increased focus on farmer and farm business resilience. Participatory extension programmes (PEPs) are a well-known approach for supporting farmer change. The objective of this article is to explore how a PEP based on peer-to-peer learning can support farmers in increasing resilience. Our study examines the inter…
Green infrastructure and urbanisation in suburban Beijing: An improved neighbourhood assessment framework
Systems, habitats or places: Evaluating the potential role of landscape character assessment in operationalising the ecosystem approach
A key challenge for research and practice is to understand how the ecosystem approach can be rolled out in spatial planning, management and decision-making. Any framework used to apply the ecosystem approach needs to not only be environmentally coherent but also socially meaningful. Drawing on semi-structured interviews and case studies, this paper examines the potential role of one place-based approach, landscape character assessment, as a mediu…
Carbon regulation and pathways for institutional transition in market-led housing systems: A case study of English housebuilders and zero carbon housing policy
In this paper, we argue that current research on carbon regulation neglects the complex interactions of institutional norms and market behaviour that characterise responses to regulatory change. We draw on empirical research undertaken with English housebuilders and housing market stakeholders to examine how transitional pathways towards a low-carbon housing future might be advanced and consider the implications of such for carbon regulation and …
Pathways through the Landscape in a Changing Climate: The Role of Landscape Structure in Facilitating Species Range Expansion through an Urbanised Region
Under climate change many species may need to shift polewards to track suitable bioclimatic conditions. This movement is likely to be impeded by intensively modified landscapes, but little is known in practice about how species undergo range expansion in these conditions. Using biological record data, this paper explores the occurrence of five butterfly species undertaking range expansion in the UK through an urbanised landscape to better underst…

Sustainability and the multifunctional landscape: An assessment of approaches to planning and management in the Cairngorms National Park
Delivering Integrated Coastal-zone Management through Land-use Planning
The first part of this paper outlines the planning policy framework for ICZM from the European to the national level. This not only contextualises the local approach to ICZM but also provides a benchmark against which to assess the efficacy of ICZM in the two areas of coast chosen for this study. The second part then examines how the development plans in the three local authorities tackle ICZM and the extent to which they follow the European and …
Attitudes Towards Planning in a Devolved Scotland
Devolution has built upon and encouraged feelings of distinctiveness in Scottish Planning. However, beyond broad support there is little empirical evidence or assessment of future trajectories for planning. Based upon a comprehensive survey of planners across Scotland concerning attitudes towards planning post devolution this article highlights a number of important points. The main issue relates to the hiatus between high expectations and the pe…
An evaluation of eia system performance in eight eu countries
Early Cinema: Space-Frame-Narrative
In the twenty years preceding the First World War, cinema rapidly developed from a fairground curiosity into a major industry and social institution, a source of information and entertainment for millions of people. Only recently have film scholars and historians begun to study these early years of cinema in their own right and not simply as first steps towards the classical narrative cinema we now associate with Hollywood.The essays in this coll…
