Creative approaches to embedding the circular economy
Interest in applied concepts such as circular economy is now at an all-time high in the post pandemic environment. Local authorities, private companies and a range of other organizations are upscaling sustainability practices, in part due to inflation, military crisis, the climate emergency, and related issues. This review paper addresses innovations within the public sector through case studies in the Global North and South. Highlighted are radi…
A systematic quality evaluation of public participation in Environmental Impact Statements (EIS)
Infrastructure development is vital for economic growth but often leads to negative environmental, social, and public health impacts. The Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), produced during the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process, is critical in identifying and addressing these impacts. However, public participation in EIA remains limited globally and in Nigeria. This study evaluates how effectively public participation is addressed i…
Social prescribing of urban agriculture
The value of Green Social Prescribing (GSP) of Urban Agriculture (UA) is well proven, with many cities witnessing a rise in such activities. However, with burgeoning interest, there comes an increased need to understand the potential risks associated with these practices. City officials, from planners to policy makers, are keen to scale-up the concept, particularly through supporting a wide range of urban farms and community gardens to contribute…
Enhancing green infrastructure in cities
Interest in radical solutions to embedding Green Infrastructure (GI) into the built environment are at an all-time high. With land value often preventing more mundane forms of GI, key actors, such as planners, developers, architects and others, are increasingly exploring novel methods for embedding the features. This innovation involves a surge in green roofs, living walls and other systems which enables nature to thrive in otherwise hostile envi…
Urban Agriculture in shared spaces
The expanding critical literature on Urban Agriculture (UA) makes links between the withdrawal of state services and the institutionalisation of volunteering, while observing that challenging funding landscapes can foster competitive environments between third-sector organisations. Where these organisations are forced to compete for survival at the expense of collaboration, their ability to collectively upscale and expand beneficial activities ca…
Mainstreaming ecosystem science in spatial planning practice
This paper develops a framework for improved mainstreaming of ecosystem science in policy and decision-making within a spatial planning context. Ecosystem science is advanced as a collective umbrella to capture a body of work and approaches rooted in social-ecological systems thinking, spawning a distinctive ecosystem terminology: ecosystem approach, ecosystem services, ecosystem services framework and natural capital. The interface between spati…
The rise of the ‘food charter’
Observing Guerrillas in the Wild
Despite an emerging literature on guerrilla gardening as a political practice in public spaces, with few exceptions, these accounts theorise it as working against many corporate and bureaucratic forms of power. Using the example of ‘F Troop’—a group of gardeners operating on a site in an English midland city—this paper focuses on the practices of urban guerrilla gardening in order to illustrate that these are perhaps not as ‘resistant’ or ‘celebr…
