This article aims to position postsocialist cities in Central and Eastern Europe the broader debate on urban environmental justice. The crosscuts through all three dimensions of justice (distributive/distributional, procedural/participatory, interactional/recognition) context green blue space provision. Environmental is still an emerging topic cities, constrained by market-orientation neoliberal trends within society, privatization, primacy private interests. respective situation provides...
The main goal of this article is to propose a set 20 indicators that represent barriers which prevent urban green space (UGS) provision on three levels – availability, accessibility, and attractiveness. These include new investments, such as residential areas roads; lack local zoning plans; fences entrance fees; amenities, facilities entrances; noise; particulates. To test our indicators, we investigated 115 parks squares in Lodz (Łódź), the third-largest city Poland. We focused key examples...
Urban green space (UGS) is a broad and potentially very inclusive term. Although most discussions on UGS focus urban parks, there are many other vegetated areas in cities. Many not formally recognised protected, hence they called informal spaces (IGS), yet provide ecosystem services similar to parks. Based detailed overview of the different categories UGS, we shed new light how included planning snapshot disturbing land use transition – from uses which partly related lack formal recognition...
The role of nature in enhancing urban well-being is well-established, but perceived naturalness may not always align with scientific definitions. Our study aimed to investigate whether areas selected for nature-related activities demonstrate increased biodiversity, offer diverse experiences, and integrate both social ecological perspectives. We bridge the gap between objective richness. Integrating environmental parameters, we considered indicators, such as presence rare species, subjective...
The multiple positive effects of an active school commute have convinced many cities to promote home-school walks among children and increase the awareness designing healthy, child-friendly routes. One ways ensure a healthy daily walk is greenery that encounter on their way. This paper aims evaluate welfare-related disparities in visibility along routes link them with distributive (in)justice regarding aesthetic appreciation. We hypothesise who belong poor status group lower than other...

Children's home–school walks are a perfect opportunity for green routes and active transportation. However, the availability of greenery along them likely varies among different socio-economic status (SES) groups. If low-SES children have less exposure to than others during these walks, this might represent environmental injustice in We assess socio-environmental inequalities regarding children's three alternative routes: shortest, simplest, greenest. used mixed-method approach, linking...
Cities are the main hubs of human activity and engines economic growth. In pursuit such growth, cities transgressing their local environmental boundaries. Ongoing urbanisation increasingly contributes to pressure on planetary boundaries negatively affects health. a telecoupled world, externalise impacts by shifting production many other functions away from At same time, urban inhabitants people who follow lifestyles but live outside disconnected nature. This Viewpoint highlights role...
We categorize Stockholm's urban green spaces according to the use values and social meanings they support, based on a sociotope mapping, estimate their impact property prices with hedonic pricing model. The approach allows us identify most least desired space characteristics (attributes) assess willingness pay for multifunctionality of spaces. To do this, we test following hypotheses, each separate model: proximity all increases prices, but specific monetary value these differs; is well...
Modelling walking distance enables the observation of non-linearities in hedonic property pricing accessibility to greenspace. We test a penalized spline spatial error model (PS-SEM), which has two distinctive features. First, PS-SEM controls for presence spatially autocorrelated term. Second, allows continuous non-linear decay price premium as function greenspaces. As result, compared with traditional econometric methods, advantage that data determines functional form implicit greenspace...
Socioeconomic disparities in urban green space (UGS) availability and environmental injustice may occur not only at the scale of whole cities, selected districts/neighbourhoods, but also lower spatial scales, such as blocks or even individual buildings. The latter – microscale UGS reflect differences among inhabitants who belong to different socioeconomic status groups inhabit buildings parts This article evaluates whether cities characterized by low segregation general, those located...
Despite what numerous studies on the perceived importance and value of urban trees may suggest, are subject to endless debates controversies. The problems span individuals' reluctance clean up leaves broader discussions a 'modern city' should look like. To study these issues, we benefitted from national-scale policy liberalization that involved drastic change in regulations regarding tree management Poland. Between January June 2017, private property owners were allowed freely remove their...
The understanding of urban social-ecological systems requires integrated and interdisciplinary methods. This paper explores differences in the accessibility green spaces (UGS) based on morphology. In contrast to other comparative analyses that followed simplified quantification UGS provision and/or omitted impact morphological properties space, this study proposes three improvements. First, it uses share service area 300 m walking distance around each residential building a city as measure...
