  • A decade of nature

    Open AccessJudy Bush, Cathy Oke et al.ARTICLELandscape and Urban Planning2023

    Cities have important roles in biodiversity restoration and management. Local municipalities, as key land managers, play critical roles since some species are restricted to small patches of urban habitat, and some are considered threatened. Evolving approaches to urban nature policy, strategy and implementation demonstrate increasing sophistication and complexity, with approaches transitioning towards the adoption of more complex objectives, that…

  • A transformative mission for prioritising nature in Australian cities

    Open AccessNiki Frantzeskaki, Cathy Oke et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2022Cited by: 2References: 110

    Australia is experiencing mounting pressures related to processes of urbanisation, biodiversity loss and climate change felt at large in cities. At the same time, it is cities that can take the leading role in pioneering approaches and solutions to respond to those coupling emergencies. In this perspective piece we respond to the following question: What are the required transformations for prioritising, valuing, maintaining and embracing nature …

  • Cities and the SDGs

    Open AccessAmelia Leavesley, Alexei Trundle et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2022Cited by: 5References: 47

    City action is critical to achieving global visions for sustainability such as the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, SDG ‘localisation’ is complex procedure, with divergent outcomes depending on context and diverse city processes. This paper considers the operational challenges faced by city actors in taking on the SDGs, and subsequent implications for initiating local (and global) sustainability transitions. We analyse emergent…

  • Nature-Based Solutions for Urban Climate Change Adaptation

    Open AccessNiki Frantzeskaki, Timon Mcphearson et al.ARTICLEBioScience2019

    Nature-based solutions offer an exciting prospect for resilience building and advancing urban planning to address complex urban challenges simultaneously. In this article, we formulated through a coproduction process in workshops held during the first IPCC Cities and Climate Science Conference in Edmonton, Canada, in March 2018, a series of synthesis statements on the role, potential, and research gaps of nature-based solutions for climate adapta…

  • Capturing residents’ values for urban green space

    Open AccessChristopher D Ives, Cathy Oke et al.ARTICLELandscape and Urban Planning2017

    Planning for green space is guided by standards and guidelines but there is currently little understanding of the variety of values people assign to green spaces or their determinants. Land use planners need to know what values are associated with different landscape characteristics and how value elicitation techniques can inform decisions. We designed a Public Participation GIS (PPGIS) study and surveyed residents of four urbanising suburbs in t…
