Towards a successful implementation of the X-minute city vision - the importance of multi- and cross-scale interactions for creating sustainable and resilient cities in an urban planning context
There is a demonstrable usefulness of the focus on the neighbourhood scale promoted in the X-minute city vision, as part of a larger climate change mitigation strategy. However, emphasis on the neighbourhood runs the risk of over-simplifying the processes by which critical urban functions are created. Many urban functions depend on the interplay between spatial scales that needs to be addressed in the X-minute city vision. Here, we provide exampl…
Financing resilience efforts to confront future urban and sea-level rise flooding: Are coastal megacities in Association of Southeast Asian Nations doing enough
Continued greenhouse gas emissions will lead to a rise in temperatures, accompanied by rising sea levels threatening low-lying coastal cities. This vulnerability is especially acute in developing countries’ cities. This study reviews whether Bangkok, Manila, and Jakarta, less prepared emerging urban centers of developing countries, are investing in adaptation projects for resilience against sea-level rise and urban flooding. Sea-level rise and ur…

How smart is smart growth? Examining the environmental validation behind city compaction
Being efficient and green by rethinking the urban-rural divide—Combining urban expansion and food production by integrating an ecosystem service perspective into urban planning
Operationalising a social–ecological system perspective on the Arctic Ocean
We propose a framework to support management that builds on a social-ecological system perspective on the Arctic Ocean. We illustrate the framework's application for two policy-relevant scenarios of climate-driven change, picturing a shift in zooplankton composition and alternatively a crab invasion. We analyse archetypical system dynamics between the socio-economic, the natural, and the governance systems in these scenarios. Our holistic approac…
Capturing the value of green space in urban parks in a sustainable urban planning and design context: Pros and Cons of Hedonic Pricing
Engström, G., and A. Gren. 2017. Capturing the value of green space in urban parks in a sustainable urban planning and design context: pros and cons of hedonic pricing. Ecology and Society 22(2):21. https://doi.org/10.5751/ES-09365-220221
Advancing understanding of the complex nature of urban systems
Does aquaculture add resilience to the global food system?
Aquaculture is the fastest growing food sector and continues to expand alongside terrestrial crop and livestock production. Using portfolio theory as a conceptual framework, we explore how current interconnections between the aquaculture, crop, livestock, and fisheries sectors act as an impediment to, or an opportunity for, enhanced resilience in the global food system given increased resource scarcity and climate change. Aquaculture can potentia…
A Quantitative Review of Urban Ecosystem Service Assessments: Concepts, Models, and Implementation
Although a number of comprehensive reviews have examined global ecosystem services (ES), few have focused on studies that assess urban ecosystem services (UES). Given that more than half of the world's population lives in cities, understanding the dualism of the provision of and need for UES is of critical importance. Which UES are the focus of research, and what types of urban land use are examined? Are models or decision support systems used to…
Reconnecting Cities to the Biosphere: Stewardship of Green Infrastructure and Urban Ecosystem Services
Within-city green infrastructure can offer opportunities and new contexts for people to become stewards of ecosystem services. We analyze cities as social-ecological systems, synthesize the literature, and provide examples from more than 15 years of research in the Stockholm urban region, Sweden. The social-ecological approach spans from investigating ecosystem properties to the social frameworks and personal values that drive and shape human int…
