Nature-Based Solutions for Urban and Peri-Urban Areas

Autor: Mohammed Firoz C , Lalit Kumar Dashora , Rajib Shaw

Número de Páginas: 331

This book explores the concept of nature-based solutions (NbS) as a sustainable approach to tackle the environmental challenges in urban and peri-urban areas such as biodiversity loss and urbanization in the changing climate. The book highlights the myriad benefits of NbS, including enhancing resilience, mitigating urban heat island effect, promoting biodiversity, and improving air and water quality. Drawing on real-world case studies from different global contexts, the book provides practical examples of successful NbS implementation in various urban and peri-urban settings. Through an interdisciplinary lens, the book discusses the science, policy, and governance aspects of NbS, emphasizing the need for collaboration among stakeholders, policymakers, and communities to effectively implement the solutions. It will also explore the economic benefits of NbS and how they can contribute to the well-being and social equity of urban populations. The book serves as an essential guide for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners seeking sustainable and nature-centric approaches to address the environmental challenges that cities and peri-urban areas face in the twenty-first century.

Multi-scale Urban Built Environment and Human Health

Autor: Ye Liu , Yuliang Zou , Chen Zhong , Xin Li

Número de Páginas: 153

In urban settings, the built environment encompasses a complex array of physical, social, economic, and environmental factors that interact to influence residents' health and well-being. In the realm of public health, understanding the intricate interplay between the urban built environment and human health is paramount. At the macro level, urban planning policies and development strategies profoundly shape the physical and social configuration of cities. Zoning regulations, transportation infrastructure, housing affordability, and land-use patterns exert significant influences on residents' health behaviors and outcomes over time. For instance, affordable housing, public transportation, and essential services can mitigate socioeconomic disparities and enhance overall well-being. Conversely, urban sprawl, inadequate infrastructure, and environmental degradation may exacerbate health inequities and contribute to chronic health conditions. The community environment also embodies plenty of critical determinants of individual health outcomes. Characteristics such as walkability, access to green spaces, availability of healthy food options, and social cohesion influence residents'...

Proceedings of the 2022 International Conference on Mathematical Statistics and Economic Analysis (MSEA 2022)

This is an open access book. 2022 International Conference on Mathematical Statistics and Economic Analysis(MSEA 2022) will be held in Dalian, China from May 27 to 29, 2022. Based on probability theory, mathematical statistics studies the statistical regularity of a large number of random phenomena, and infers and forecasts the whole. Economic development is very important to people's life and the country. Through data statistics and analysis, we can quickly understand the law of economic development. This conference combines mathematical statistics and economic analysis for the first time to explore the relationship between them, so as to provide a platform for experts and scholars in the field of mathematical statistics and economic analysis to exchange and discuss.

Behavioural and Ecological Consequences of Urban Life in Birds

Autor: Caroline Isaksson , Amanda D. Rodewald , Diego Gil

Número de Páginas: 364

Urbanization is next to global warming the largest threat to biodiversity. Indeed, it is becoming increasingly evident that many bird species get locally extinct as a result of urban development. However, many bird species benefit from urbanization, especially through the abundance of human-provided resources, and increase in abundance and densities. These birds are intriguing to study in relation to its resilience and adaption to urban environments, but also in relation to its susceptibility and the potential costs of urban life. This Research Topic consisting of 30 articles (one review, two meta-analyzes and 27 original data papers) provides insights into species and population responses to urbanization through diverse lenses, including biogeography, community ecology, behaviour, life history evolution, and physiology.

Changing Urban Education

Autor: Clarence Nathan Stone

Número de Páginas: 358

With critical issues like desegregation and funding facing our schools, dissatisfaction with public education has reached a new high. Teachers decry inadequate resources while critics claim educators are more concerned with job security than effective teaching. Though urban education has reached crisis proportions, contending players have difficulty agreeing on a common program of action. This book tells why. Changing Urban Education confronts the prevailing naivete in school reform by examining the factors that shape, reinforce, or undermine reform efforts. Edited by one of the nation's leading urban scholars, it examines forces for change and resistance in urban education and proposes that the barrier to reform can only be overcome by understanding how schools fit into the broader political contexts of their cities. Much of the problem with our schools lies with the reluctance of educators to recognize the profoundly political character of public education. The contributors show how urban political contexts vary widely with factors like racial composition, the role of the teachers' union, and relations between cities and surrounding metropolitan areas. Presenting case studies of ...
