Cultural ecosystem services of informal green spaces
In urban areas, informal green spaces (IGS) can offer complementary green resources next to designed parks and gardens, contributing to green space equality. Therefore, particular attention should be paid to what cultural ecosystem services (CES) IGS provide in socioeconomically deprived neighbourhoods. However, how residents of these neighbourhoods perceive IGS and how IGS can serve as an everyday social space is still an under-explored area. Th…
Do urban digital twins need agents
The urban digital twin (UDT) is derived from the original digital-twin concept of a representation of physical assets. This has left the social component of the city underrepresented in UDTs. Here, we discuss what this means for the current maturity stage of UDTs and why better representing human behaviour in UDTs may diversify possibilities to support different types of planning. We contemplate operationalizing the representation of human behavi…
Greening guidelines for cooling European neighbourhoods with temperate climate
Green infrastructure measures such as street tree planting and ground surface greening effectively mitigate urban heat. As heat stress intensifies, identifying effective spatial arrangements of these interventions becomes increasingly important. To provide actionable guidance for real-world projects, practical design and resource constraints must also be considered. However, studies that systematically balance cooling effectiveness with practical…
How small green spaces cool urban neighbourhoods
Green space design guidelines are generated based on four neighbourhood typologies. • Inside green spaces, mean PET can vary up to 4 °C among different design scenarios. • Grouping several small green areas cools neighbourhoods most effectively. • Small green spaces scattered in a neighbourhood are the least effective strategy. How can green spaces smaller than 1 ha improve outdoor thermal conditions in urban neighbourhoods? Considering the varia…
Motivating Climate-Adaptation Actions in Dutch Private Gardens
In the effort to adapt the urban environment to climate change, motivating residents is key. Various communication guidelines have been proposed in the literature, but few have been tested in practice. This study reports on the development and use of an interactive communication tool based on these guidelines; this tool aimed to motivate climate-adaptation actions in private gardens through increasing self-efficacy. After using the tool, particip…
Heat-prone neighbourhood typologies of European cities with temperate climate
Outdoor microclimates vary among different urban neighbourhoods depending on their morphological variations. The Local Climate Zone (LCZ) framework is a well-developed typomorphological classification used to capture the variation that characterises neighbourhood microclimates. However, it does not include detailed morphological parameters within neighbourhoods that have synergistic effects on microclimates. It is thus essential to develop neighb…
The fractal dimension of Islamic and Persian four-folding gardens
Since Benoit Mandelbrot (1924–2010) coined the term “fractal” in 1975, mathematical theories of fractal geometry have deeply influenced the fields of landscape perception, architecture, and technology. Indeed, their ability to describe complex forms nested within each other, and repeated towards infinity, has allowed the modeling of chaotic phenomena such as weather patterns or plant growth. Some human-designed patterns such as the ones developed…
Older People’s Experiences of Mobility and Mood in an Urban Environment
There are concerns about mental wellbeing in later life in older people as the global population becomes older and more urbanised. Mobility in the built environment has a role to play in improving quality of life and wellbeing, as it facilitates independence and social interaction. Recent studies using neuroimaging methods in environmental psychology research have shown that different types of urban environments may be associated with distinctive…
