Buch. Condición: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - These proceedings of the Smart and Sustainable Cities Conference (SSC) in Moscow from May 23 to 26, 2018 addresses important questions regarding the global trend of urbanization. What are the environmental consequences of megacities' expansion What smart solutions can make life in cities safe, comfortable and environmentally friendly It is projected that 70% of the global population will live in cities by 2050, and as such the book describes how this rapid urbanization will alter the face of the world.Focusing on solutions for the environmental problems of modern megapolises, it discusses advanced approaches and smart technologies to monitor, model and assess the environmental consequences and risks. The contributors present examples of successful sustainable urban development, including management and design of green infrastructure, waste management, run-off purification and remediation of urban soils.The SSC conference and its proceedings offer a valuable contribution to sustainable urban development, and are of interest to the scientific and research community, municipal services, environmental protection agencies, landscape architects, civil engineers, policy makers and other stakeholders in urban management and greenery.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Urban soils are subject on the one hand to direct and constant anthropogenic disturbance, and on the other to the indirect environmental consequences of urbanization. Indeed, urban growth and densification lead to a loss of green space coverage through landscape and ecosystem fragmentation, as well as the loss of soil properties. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess some of the ecosystem services (flood mitigation) provided by the soils of Lubumbashi's urban green spaces. Samples were collected from all the green spaces studied, with a total of 20 samples, 4 per site. Two statistical tests were applied to the data: the student test and the correlation matrix. Field results and laboratory analyses revealed that soil physical properties (infiltration, porosity and structure), with the exception of bulk density, are greater on vegetated soils than on bare soils.…

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Urban Green Spaces (UGSs) have transcended their traditional role as mere aesthetic embellishments to become critical infrastructure underpinning essential Ecosystem Services (ES). While traditional research has focused on the biophysical supply of ES, the contemporary research frontier has pivoted towards a more integrative paradigm. By harnessing big data, machine learning, and rigorous policy evaluation, current studies aim to bridge the critical gap between ecological supply and human well-being. This Special Issue encapsulates this shift, exploring the multi-dimensional value of UGSs-from climate regulation to Cultural Ecosystem Services (CES), encompassing recreation, aesthetics, and heritage. A central theme of this collection is the intricate socio-ecological interaction within urban fabrics. We highlight research that dissects how external environmental factors influence park usage and shape public perception, thereby linking physical spaces with social behaviors. Furthermore, the issue addresses the pressing challenges of spatial equity, policy effectiveness, and governance. Contributions within this volume examine the delicate coordination between urban livability and population distribution, the tangible impacts of national strategies like the Ecological Conservation Redline on ES supply, and the complex trade-offs inherent in land-use planning. By introducing novel assessment frameworks and governance pathways, this collection provides actionable insights for fostering sustainable urban development amidst the pressures of rapid urbanization. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Urban ecosystems, which host most of the global population, are dynamic and multifaceted systems subject to continuous transformation. Within these ecosystems, green spaces, encompassing urban horticulture, cemeteries, urban forests, and nature-based solutions, serve as critical components for enhancing the well-being of urban residents. These green spaces provide a wide array of ecosystem services (ESs) vital for sustainable urban living. To ensure the continued provision of these services, it is imperative to map and assess them systematically. In addition, it is essential to critically analyze and refine policy frameworks, governance structures, and urban planning strategies that support the management and enhancement of these services. This Special Issue is dedicated to the mapping and assessment of urban ecosystem services, with a focus on the planning of urban green spaces to optimize the delivery of these services. It will also explore the formulation of coherent policy approaches regarding and strengthening governmental oversight of green spaces. Furthermore, it examines the dynamics of collaborative governance arrangements related to urban green spaces and investigates the use of innovative policy tools (such as living labs) for the establishment and enhancement of ecosystem services in urban settings. …
