Nature-centric housing: The real ‘win-win’ for addressing the UK’s housing and nature crises
The UK Government plans to enable construction of 1.5 million homes in the next five years in one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world, enabled by a Planning and Infrastructure Bill. Ministers assert this will be a ‘win-win’ for housing and nature, but major wildlife organisations reject this claim based on the prospect of weaker nature protections. To test if better ‘win-wins’ were available, we held a workshop in June 2025 with ac…
Narrative futures of a low carbon transition for hydrocarbon rentier states: Case of Qatar
The beginning of the post-fossil fuel era is evident in trends such as fossil fuel divestment, cheaper alternative energy sources, and disruptive technologies that are enabling responsive and reliable alternative energy systems. In this global low-carbon transition, states (countries) that are dependent on hydrocarbon revenues confront an uncertain future, requiring urgent actions to reduce their economic and societal dependence on hydrocarbon re…
Dealing with Sustainability Trade-Offs of the Compact City in Peri-Urban Planning Across European City Regions
The compact city has become a leading concept in the planning of peri-urban areas. The compact city concept is often advocated as “sustainable” because of claims that include lower emissions and conservation of the countryside. The literature shows, however, that there are certain trade-offs in striving for compaction, especially between environmental and social aspects of sustainability. In this article, we describe expressions of the compact ci…
Managing the Flow of Construction Minerals in the North West Region of England: A Mass Balance Approach
This article, focusing on the flow of bulk construction minerals, establishes a mass balance framework for the North West of England, a region that imports more aggregate material than any other in the United Kingdom. The problems associated with construction minerals are of a different nature than most other resource flow issues: Depletion of resources and contamination are not considered major problems; rather it is the environmental impact res…
Toolkits for regional sustainable development
Integrated assessment for sustainability appraisal in cities and regions
Integrated assessment models—from global to local
This illustrated commentary looks at two very different types of integrated assessment models in context. On one hand the current generation of integrated climate models has achieved a significant role in environmental policy. On the other, integrated models for urban and regional systems have declined in their relevance for the policy process. However, the global models should be closely linked to urban models, which provide a very significant p…
