Divergent benefits of urban nature
Urban nature provides essential ecosystem services, but their use and perception vary based on socio‐demographic factors, including settlement type, which reflects differences in socio‐economic and environmental conditions. This study compares how residents of new town developments (master‐planned areas) and unplanned settlements (organically developed) use and perceive ecosystem services in South Tangerang city, Indonesia. A social survey of 403…
Monitoring nature-based solutions is key for compliance, co-creation and practice improvement
Assessing a decision-support tool to estimate the cooling potential and economic savings from urban vegetation in Singapore
The InVEST Urban Cooling model accurately estimated urban temperatures in a tropical city. • Model parameters were calibrated using observed temperature data. • Urban cooling from vegetation has economic benefits through reduced energy use. • We estimated $47.14 million SGD annual savings in public residential buildings. • With minimal data requirements, the model can be applied to other tropical cities. To mitigate the growing threat of urban he…
Humid heat stress overlooked for one billion people in urban informal settlements
Understanding the impacts of land use changes on the sustainability of hydrological ecosystem services
Aligning nature-based solutions and housing policy
Nature-based Solutions (NbS), such as constructed wetlands, raingardens and reforestation, have emerged as a promising opportunity for improving living conditions in quickly growing cities. Experiences in practice, however, indicate that the decision-making processes that underpin housing projects, particularly in informal settlements upgrading programs, are still not conducive to the mainstreaming of NbS. We explore the case study of the Baan Ma…
Urban Nature Games for integrating nature-based solutions in urban planning
Adopting nature-based solutions (NbS) in urban planning is not mainstream due to insufficient knowledge or incentives for implementation. Game-based approaches may increase NbS adoption by educating urban stakeholders and engaging them in the planning process. Here, we develop a conceptual framework for assessing various games’ main purpose (educational, interventional, or for research) and how they capture important concepts of NbS and urban pla…
Calibrating and validating the InVest urban cooling model
Understanding the cooling service provided by vegetation in cities is important to inform urban policy and planning. However, the performance of decision-support tools estimating heat mitigation for urban greening strategies is not systematically evaluated. Here, we develop a calibration algorithm and evaluate the performance of the Urban Cooling model developed within the open-source InVEST (Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeof…
Nature-based solutions in informal settlements
New paths for modelling freshwater nature futures
Freshwater ecosystems are exceptionally rich in biodiversity and provide essential benefits to people. Yet they are disproportionately threatened compared to terrestrial and marine systems and remain underrepresented in the scenarios and models used for global environmental assessments. The Nature Futures Framework (NFF) has recently been proposed to advance the contribution of scenarios and models for environmental assessments. This framework pl…
Identifying nature-positive futures in new cities
With the increasing loss of biodiversity due to urbanization, it is essential to examine and re-imagine the place of nature in cities. The opportunity to redesign positive relationships between cities and nature is particularly apparent in the development of new cities—rapidly developing areas observed in many Asian and African countries. As these new cities are built on a perceived tabula rasa, there is a potential to design positive nature futu…
L’approche par les services écosystémiques peut-elle permettre une meilleure mise en visibilité de la nature dans les processus de planification urbaine
La nature est un atout conséquent d’adaptation des villes au changement climatique et contribue à la qualité de vie des citadins. Ses contributions, positives comme négatives, peuvent être représentées par les services (se) et dis-services écosystémiques. Dans cet article, nous questionnons l’apport de la considération, de la cartographie et de la communication autour des se dans les processus d’aménagement urbain pour créer un langage commun aup…
Planning for green infrastructure using multiple urban ecosystem service models and multicriteria analysis
Unprecedented urban growth and extensive land use change especially in the Global South has placed increasing pressure on urban ecosystem services (UES). While there are numerous studies modelling and mapping ecosystem services, integrating the outputs of multiple ecosystem service assessments to provide recommendations for nature-based planning remains a challenge. The objective of this study is to characterise the spatial distribution of multip…
Global variation in contributions to human well-being from urban vegetation ecosystem services
Toward a critical technical practice in disaster risk management
Purpose Despite decades of social science research into disasters, practice in the field continues to be informed largely from a technical perspective. The outcome is often a perpetuation of vulnerability, as narrowly defined technical interventions fail to address or recognize the ethical, historical, political and structural complexities of real-world community vulnerability and its causes. The authors propose that addressing this does not requ…
Nature futures for the urban century
There is an emerging consensus that the health of the planet depends on the coexistence between rapidly growing cities and the natural world. One strategy for guiding cities towards sustainability is to facilitate a planning process based on positive visions for urban systems among actors and stakeholders. This paper presents the Urban Nature Futures Framework (UNFF), a framework for scenario building for cities that is based on three Nature Futu…
A geospatial model of nature-based recreation for urban planning
An ecosystem service perspective on urban nature, physical activity, and health
Nature underpins human well-being in critical ways, especially in health. Nature provides pollination of nutritious crops, purification of drinking water, protection from floods, and climate security, among other well-studied health benefits. A crucial, yet challenging, research frontier is clarifying how nature promotes physical activity for its many mental and physical health benefits, particularly in densely populated cities with scarce and dw…
Nature-based solutions for flood risk reduction
Flooding is the most frequent and damaging natural hazard globally. While nature-based solutions can reduce flood risk, they are not part of mainstream risk management. We develop a probabilistic risk analysis framework to quantify these benefits that (1) accounts for frequent small events and rarer large events, (2) can be applied to large basins and data-scarce contexts, and (3) quantifies economic benefits and reduction in people affected. Mea…
Are soil sealing indicators sufficient to guide urban planning? Insights from an ecosystem services assessment in the Paris metropolitan area
Urban sprawl impacts are critical in the evaluation of planning decisions and often monitored by indicators of soil sealing. In France, these indicators are required by law to be reported in environmental assessments of planning documents. Although monitoring of soil sealing is important to limit environmental impacts, focusing on this sole dimension in urban planning can be reductive. In this paper, we explore to what extent ecosystem services (…
Supply and demand assessment of urban recreation service and its implication for greenspace planning-A case study on Guangzhou
Global modeling of nature’s contributions to people
The future of nature's contributions A recent Global Assessment by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services has emphasized the urgent need to determine where and how nature's contribution matters most to people. Chaplin-Kramer et al. have developed a globalscale modeling of ecosystem services, focusing on water quality regulation, coastal protection, and crop pollination (see the Perspective by Balvaner…
Social-ecological and technological factors moderate the value of urban nature
Landscape configuration is the primary driver of impacts on water quality associated with agricultural expansion
Corporations and other multinational institutions are increasingly looking to evaluate their innovation and procurement decisions over a range of environmental criteria, including impacts on ecosystem services according to the spatial configuration of activities on the landscape. We have developed a spatially explicit approach and modeled a hypothetical corporate supply chain decision representing contrasting patterns of land-use change in four r…
