Abstract Creating a just and sustainable planet will require not only small changes, but also systemic transformations in how humans relate to the each other, i.e., social–ecological transformations. We suggest there is need for collaborative environments where experimentation with new configurations of systems can occur, we refer these as transformative spaces. In this paper, seek better understanding design enable creation spaces development context. analyse nine case studies from previous...
This paper draws on two case studies from India and China to discuss how why rapidly urbanizing contexts are particularly challenging for transformative innovation but also critical sustainability frontiers learning environments. We argue that lack of understanding policy engagement with peri-urbanization in its current form is leading increasing exclusion unrealized potential support multiple sustainable urban development goals. Peri-urbanization often characterized by the neoliberal...

Peri-urban ecosystem services (ES) play a vital role in the health and livelihoods of urban peri-urban residents, but have received relatively little attention literature to date. Here we focus on agriculture-related south Asia: examining relationships with multiple dimensions poverty, cross-scale interactions that affect well-being both residents across city regions. We present novel analytical framework reveal dynamics ES, poverty livelihood rapidly urbanising contexts. Our adapts concepts...
Abstract Transitional peri-urban contexts are frontiers for sustainable development where land-use change involves negotiation and contestation between diverse interest groups. Multiple, complex trade-offs outcomes emerge which have both negative positive impacts on progress towards achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These often overlooked in policy planning processes depend top-down expert perspectives rely course grain aggregate data does not reflect dynamics or the rapid pace...

The present study investigated the impact of irrigation with wastewater on nutritional property and heavy‐metal concentrations in soil consequent accumulation vegetables at sites having long‐term uses for irrigation. Samples water, soil, root shoot parts palak plants were analyzed to determine concentration heavy metals. Wastewater led increases total phytoavailable all sites. Heavy‐metal under negatively positively correlated hydrogen potential (pH) organic carbon (OC), respectively....
Recent years have witnessed an expanding body of peri-urban and urban scholarship. However, recent scholarship has yet to adequately address the central role politics power shaping water quality decline. The article focuses on trans-Hindon region which is part Ghaziabad city, close India's capital, Delhi. We draw upon political ecology explain argue in favour creating stronger synergy between UPE debates as conceptualizing shows that a complex socio-political challenge, decline centrally...
