  • Quantitative evidence for leapfrogging in urban growth

    Open AccessManon Glockmann, Yunfei Li et al.ARTICLEEnvironment and Planning B Urban…2022

    Urban growth can take different forms, such as infill, expansion and leapfrog development. Here we focus on leapfrogging, which is characterised as new urban development bypassing vacant land. Analysing a sample of 100 global locations, we study the probability that land cover is converted from non-urban to urban as a function of the minimum distance to existing urban cells. The probability decreases with the distance but in many of the considere…

  • Building a unified sustainable development goal database: Why does sustainable development goal data selection matter

    Open AccessAnne Warchold, Prajal Pradhan et al.ARTICLESustainable Development2022Cited by: 7References: 4

    The 2020s are an essential decade for achieving the 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). For this, SDG research needs to provide evidence that can be translated into concrete actions. However, studies use different SDG data, resulting in incomparable findings. Researchers primarily use SDG databases provided by the United Nations (UN), the World Bank Group (WBG), and the Bertelsmann Stiftung & Sustainable Development Solution…

  • Singularity cities

    Open AccessYunfei Li, Diego Rybski et al.ARTICLEEnvironment and Planning B Urban…2021

    We propose an upgraded gravitational model which provides population counts beyond the binary (urban/non-urban) city simulations. Numerically studying the model output, we find that the radial population density gradients follow power-laws where the exponent is related to the preset gravity exponent γ . Similarly, the urban fraction decays exponentially, again determined by γ . The population density gradient can be related to radial fractality a…

  • The decarbonisation of Europe powered by lifestyle changes

    Open AccessLuís Costa, Vincent Moreau et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    Decision makers increasingly recognise the importance of lifestyle changes in reaching low emission targets. How the mitigation potential of changes in mobility, dietary, housing or consumption behaviour compare to those of ambitious technological changes in terms of decarbonisation remains a key question. To evaluate the interplay of behaviour and technological changes, we make use of the European Calculator model and show that changes in behavi…

  • Evidence-based narratives in European research programming

    Open AccessPhilipp Schepelmann, Susanne Fischer et al.ARTICLEEuropean Journal of Futures…2021References: 16

    The article introduces and exemplifies the approach of evidence-based narratives (EBN). The methodology is a product of co-design between policy-making and science, generating robust intelligence for evidence-based policy-making in the Directorate General for Research and Innovation of the European Commission (DG RTD) under the condition of high uncertainty and fragmented evidence. The EBN transdisciplinary approach tackles practical problems of …

  • On the influence of density and morphology on the Urban Heat Island intensity

    Open AccessYunfei Li, Sebastian Schubert et al.ARTICLENature Communications2020

    The canopy layer urban heat island (UHI) effect, as manifested by elevated near-surface air temperatures in urban areas, exposes urban dwellers to additional heat stress in many cities, specially during heat waves. We simulate the urban climate of various generated cities under the same weather conditions. For mono-centric cities, we propose a linear combination of logarithmic city area and logarithmic gross building volume, which also captures t…

  • Comparing Generic and Case Study Damage Functions: London Storm-Surge Example

    Diego Rybski, Richard Dawson et al.ARTICLENatural Hazards Review2020

    Two different approaches are used to assess the impacts associated with natural hazards and climate change in cities. A bottom-up approach uses high resolution data on constituent assets within the urban area. In contrast, a top-down approach uses less detailed information but is consequently more readily transferable. Here, we compare damage curves generated by each approach for coastal flooding in London. To compare them, we fit a log-logistic …

  • Variations in sustainable development goal interactions: Population, regional, and income disaggregation

    Open AccessAnne Warchold, Prajal Pradhan et al.ARTICLESustainable Development2020Cited by: 36References: 2

    To fulfill the 2030 Agenda, the complexity of sustainable development goal (SDG) interactions needs to be disentangled. However, this understanding is currently limited. We conduct a cross‐sectional correlational analysis for 2016 to understand SDG interactions under the entire development spectrum. We apply several correlation methods to classify the interaction as synergy or trade‐off and characterize them according to their monotony and linear…

  • Effects of changing population or density on urban carbon dioxide emissions

    Open AccessHaroldo V Ribeiro, Diego Rybski et al.ARTICLENature Communications2019

    The question of whether urbanization contributes to increasing carbon dioxide emissions has been mainly investigated via scaling relationships with population or population density. However, these approaches overlook the correlations between population and area, and ignore possible interactions between these quantities. Here, we propose a generalized framework that simultaneously considers the effects of population and area along with possible in…

  • Hungry cities: How local food self-sufficiency relates to climate change, diets, and urbanisation

    Open AccessSteffen Kriewald, Prajal Pradhan et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    Using a newly developed model approach and combining it with remote sensing, population, and climate data, first insights are provided into how local diets, urbanisation, and climate change relates to local urban food self-sufficiency. In plain terms, by utilizing the global peri-urban (PU) food production potential approximately 1bn urban residents (30% of global urban population) can be locally nourished, whereby further urbanisation is by far …

  • Reducing deforestation and improving livestock productivity: Greenhouse gas mitigation potential of silvopastoral systems in Caquetá

    Open AccessDavid M Landholm, Prajal Pradhan et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    Colombia's agriculture, forestry and other land use sector accounts for nearly half of its total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The importance of smallholder deforestation is comparatively high in relation to its regional counterparts, and livestock agriculture represents the largest driver of primary forest depletion. Silvopastoral systems (SPSs) are presented as agroecological solutions that synergistically enhance livestock productivity, impr…

  • The role of city size and urban form in the surface urban heat island

    Open AccessBin Zhou, Diego Rybski et al.ARTICLEScientific Reports2017

    Urban climate is determined by a variety of factors, whose knowledge can help to attenuate heat stress in the context of ongoing urbanization and climate change. We study the influence of city size and urban form on the Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomenon in Europe and find a complex interplay between UHI intensity and city size, fractality, and anisometry. Due to correlations among these urban factors, interactions in the multi-linear regression …

  • A Systematic Study of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Interactions

    Open AccessPrajal Pradhan, Luís Costa et al.ARTICLEEarth's Future2017

    Sustainable development goals (SDGs) have set the 2030 agenda to transform our world by tackling multiple challenges humankind is facing to ensure well‐being, economic prosperity, and environmental protection. In contrast to conventional development agendas focusing on a restricted set of dimensions, the SDGs provide a holistic and multidimensional view on development. Hence, interactions among the SDGs may cause diverging results. To analyze the…

  • Cities as nuclei of sustainability

    Open AccessDiego Rybski, D E Reusser et al.ARTICLEEnvironment and Planning B Urban…2017

    We have assembled CO 2 emission figures from collections of urban GHG emission estimates published in peer-reviewed journals or reports from research institutes and non-governmental organizations. Analyzing the scaling with population size, we find that the exponent is development dependent with a transition from super- to sub-linear scaling. From the climate change mitigation point of view, the results suggest that urbanization is desirable in d…

  • Embodied crop calories in animal products

    Open AccessPrajal Pradhan, Matthias K B Lüdeke et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2013

    Increases in animal products consumption and the associated environmental consequences have been a matter of scientific debate for decades. Consequences of such increases include rises in greenhouse gas emissions, growth of consumptive water use, and perturbation of global nutrients cycles. These consequences vary spatially depending on livestock types, their densities and their production system. In this letter, we investigate the spatial distri…
