Surveying the scene
Planning theory and practice has placed considerable attention on the conservation of ecologically and culturally significant landscapes (ECSLs). A broad range of valuation systems have been proposed and implemented. This study performed a systematic literature review of 112 articles addressing the valuation of ECSLs to identify the landscape features that are most valued and why. The findings indicate that planning theorists and practitioners te…
Towards Decarbonisation
Climate change mitigation is urgent, especially in cities where transport systems are major sources of greenhouse gas emissions. Decarbonising transport systems is vital to achieving net‐zero emissions by 2050 and meeting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Staging mega‐events, such as the Olympic and Paralympic Games, simultaneously creates significant environmental impacts and opportunities for change in host cities, particularly …
Unveiling the Barriers and Drivers of Mainstreaming Nature‐Based Solutions for Urban Flood Resilience
Cities worldwide are grappling with increasingly complex challenges in managing urban flood risk stemming from rapid urbanization exacerbated by climate change impacts. Traditional gray infrastructure has limitations in effectively managing the growing frequency and severity of urban floods, particularly during extreme events. Nature‐based Solutions (NbS) that utilize natural processes and ecosystems to enhance urban flood resilience and provide …
Social inclusion of urban villages
Assessing the assessors
Neighbourhood Sustainability Assessment Tools (NSATs) have been essential instruments for evaluating and guiding sustainable urban development. Despite insights provided into various aspects of sustainability assessment in the literature, limited research focuses on how effectively NSATs measure sustainability or what should be benchmarked in their assessment criteria. This study addresses this gap by identifying key factors that contribute to NS…
How funding scarcity and ineffective governance tools inhibit urban greenspace provision
Local government is at the forefront of providing communities with urban greenspace, amidst responding to global challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss and population growth. Much research has focused on the demands for more urban greenspace; far less has examined issues concerning supply. Better understanding of the dilemmas faced by those charged with the task of providing urban greenspace at the city scale can help policymakers, plann…
A review of nature‐based infrastructures and their effectiveness for urban flood risk mitigation
Anthropogenic climate change and rapid urbanization are contributing to more frequent and intense urban flooding. There is widespread agreement that traditional gray infrastructure, a single‐purpose solution, fails to address the problem properly and contributes to adverse direct and indirect environmental impacts. As such, Nature‐based Solutions (NbS) can provide improved outcomes to flood risk management along with co‐benefits to society and th…
Resistance and Response in Planning
How Leadership Influences Urban Greenspace Provision
Much research has examined the socio-spatial distribution of, and access to, urban greenspace; the challenges of supplying greenspace, especially in periods of dynamic urban change, remain poorly understood. Multiple factors shape urban greenspace provision, however understanding the role of leadership as a factor remains somewhat elusive. Addressing this critical knowledge gap, we employed a case study approach, using qualitative methods, to hea…
A framework for using the concept of urban resilience in responding to climate-related disasters
Resilience is an important concept in planning/policy. The diversity of theoretical conceptualisations, lack of a clear definition, and ambiguity in application to cities have made urban resilience a difficult concept to pin-down. This paper explores the dimensions of urban resilience to conceptualise and operationalise resilience, connecting theory and practice using two Australian cases. The findings call for a reconsideration of the existing d…
A ‘tug of war’ between more parks or better greenspace
Governance Factors Shaping Greenspace Provision
Few studies have considered greenspace governance provision from a local government perspective. This paper applies previously overlooked insights from urban planning and social research, to investigate the key question: ‘how do governance factors influence the provision of greenspace in cities?’. It examines governance tools, organisational leadership and culture, and political leadership. Findings reveal the tensions between a need for certaint…
When the tide gets high
Climate change poses significant challenges to coastal cities. Local governments around the world are using various strategies to address sea level rise and coastal flooding. Most of these responses are reactive, developed in an ad hoc manner following a specific event, but there is an increasing recognition of the need for more comprehensive and proactive approaches. Research into the topic reflects practice, with numerous studies of particular …

Environmental Sustainability
For a generation, governments around the world have been committed to sustainable development as a policy goal. This has been supported by an array of new policies ranging from international agreements, to national strategies, environmental laws at many levels of government, regional programs, and local plans. Despite these efforts, decades of scientific monitoring indicate that the world is no closer to environmental sustainability and in many r…
