A global systematic review of socio-economic impact assessments of high-tide flooding
High-tide flooding (HTF) is an increasingly frequent and disruptive phenomenon in coastal regions worldwide, driven by rising local sea levels. Despite recent attention to the drivers of this emerging flood hazard, the scope and extent of socio-economic impacts of HTF impacts are not well understood. This study presents a global systematic review of studies that quantitatively assess the socio-economic impacts of HTF. A total of 993 peer-reviewed…
Limitations of existing park quality instruments and suggestions for future research
Forging just ecologies
We ask how environmental justice and urban ecology have influenced one another over the past 25 years in the context of the US Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) program and Baltimore Ecosystem Study (BES) project. BES began after environmental justice emerged through activism and scholarship in the 1980s but spans a period of increasing awareness among ecologists and environmental practitioners. The work in Baltimore provides a detailed exampl…
Shifting forward
The world has become urban; cities increasingly shape our worldviews, relation to other species, and the large-scale, long-term decisions we make. Cities are nature, but they need to align better with other ecosystems to avoid accelerating climate change and loss of biodiversity. We need a science to guide urban development across the diverse realities of global cities. This need can be met, in part, by shifts in urban ecology and its linkages to…
A transformative shift in urban ecology toward a more active and relevant future for the field and for cities
This paper builds on the expansion of urban ecology from a biologically based discipline—ecology in the city—to an increasingly interdisciplinary field—ecology of the city—to a transdisciplinary, knowledge to action endeavor—an ecology for and with the city. We build on this “prepositional journey” by proposing a transformative shift in urban ecology, and we present a framework for how the field may continue this shift. We conceptualize that urba…
The relational shift in urban ecology
This perspective emerged from ongoing dialogue among ecologists initiated by a virtual workshop in 2021. A transdisciplinary group of researchers and practitioners conclude that urban ecology as a science can better contribute to positive futures by focusing on relationships, rather than prioritizing urban structures. Insights from other relational disciplines, such as political ecology, governance, urban design, and conservation also contribute.…
Why go green? Comparing rationales and planning criteria for green infrastructure in U.S. city plans
Green infrastructure is an increasingly popular urban sustainability strategy, widely promoted for its ability to provide multiple benefits. We examined 120 planning documents from 19 U.S. cities to identify if and how the stated benefits that cities use within their rationales for green infrastructure programs (rationale statements) align with the criteria used to site green infrastructure at the neighborhood scale (siting statements). Our findi…
