Abstract The scale, pace, and intensity of human activity on the planet demands radical departures from status quo to remain within planetary boundaries achieve sustainability. steering arms society including embedded financial, legal, political, governance systems must be radically realigned recognize connectivity among social, ecological, technological domains urban deliver more just, equitable, sustainable, resilient futures. We present five key principles requiring fundamental cognitive,...
Abstract Multifunctional landscapes provide critical benefits and are essential for human well‐being. The relationship between multifunctional well‐being has mostly been studied using ecosystem services as a linkage. However, there is challenge of concretizing what exactly how it can be measured, particularly in relation to services, landscape values related discussions. In this paper, we measure self‐reported through applying an inductive free‐listing approach the exploration relationships...
Abstract Low- and middle-income countries in Southeast East Asia face a range of challenges related to the rapid pace urbanisation region, scale pollution, climate change, loss ecosystem services associated difficulties for ecological restoration. Possible pathways towards more sustainable future lie applications nature-based solutions (NBS). However, there is relatively little literature on application NBS particularly Asia. In this paper we address gap by assessing socio-ecological region...
Nature-based solutions (NBS) are championed for providing co-benefits to cities and residents, yet their environmental justice impacts increasingly debated. In this paper, we explore whether how hybrid governance approaches, such as Mosaic Governance, may contribute just transformations sustainable through fostering long-term collaborations between local governments, communities, grassroots initiatives. Based on case studies in three major European cities, propose then exemplify six possible...
Abstract Managing nature-based solutions (NBS) in urban areas for carbon mitigation and biodiversity outcomes is a global policy challenge, yet little known about how to both assess weave diverse knowledge systems values into carbon-biodiversity trade-off assessments. This paper examines the spatial relationships between biophysical social sequestration potential (measured as dioxide, CO 2 , flux) Helsinki, Finland, using integrated valuation. The approach combines methods from modelling,...
Urban green infrastructure can help cities tackle biodiversity loss and support well-being, but also contribute to climate change mitigation. This be enhanced with policies that favor biodiversity, residential or benefits such as carbon sequestration. However, assessing public for favoring specific outcomes, potential trade-offs between them, is vital understanding the social implications may have upon implementation. paper presents results of a participation GIS (PPGIS) survey (n = 3 237)...
Realising just and equitable pathways to urbanisation is a major challenge in urban research practice. Environmental justice literature outlines approaches for distribution meaningful public participation by including recognising different groups of residents. Despite institutionalised support procedures planning, citizens do not necessarily perceive outcomes as inclusive. This paper aims understand critically examine procedural the development process marginalised neighbourhood Malmö,...
Uncertainty and change are the hallmarks of contemporary life. Global climate change, ecological regime shifts, urban transformations catalyze new levels socio-spatial precarity. Exacerbated by political economic conditions, accelerating uncertainty have disrupted people-place relationships created anxiety around real perceived place loss threat. In this article, we outline potential senses place—both pluralized politicized—to generate possibilities for thinking, acting, designing in...
To address the inter-connected climate and biodiversity crises, it is crucial to understand how multifunctional urban green infrastructure (UGI) perceived contribute carbon neutrality, biodiversity, human well-being, justice outcomes in cities. We explore residents, including youth, associate carbon-related meanings with UGI these relate co-benefits broader sustainability outcomes. Our findings are based on a survey distributed among residents of Helsinki, Finland (n = 487) reveal manifest...
Universal concepts in spatial planning, e.g. 're-humanisation' of cities, have been adopted by many cities worldwide. However, planning cannot be understood independently from its socio-cultural context. This paper uses the 'culturized model' to analyse extent which application universal assumptions as an approach Riyadh's municipal programme, Humanizing City, has created inclusive urban environments. The shows that relying solely on guidelines achieve qualities was insufficient for creating...
Systems-based frameworks offer a promising opportunity to integrate smart and green city approaches create positive contributions urban sustainability. In particular, digital public participatory GIS (PPGIS) presents tool for combining technological planning with an agenda more just nature-based solutions (NBS) by elucidating community voices subjective perspectives. this study, we investigate the potential PPGIS support inclusive implementation of NBS in marginalized housing area...
Urban ecotourism and urban rewilding may form a sustainable transition path for both tourism wilderness. In an explorative case study, we analyse this option by reconstructing the history of extensive wasteland formerly used as military shooting range dumpsite converted to Nature Park in 2015. The transformation has long which is shaped changes society, technologies, consequently ecologies during different periods reflecting prevailing paradigms nature perceptions over time. We seek provide...
Abstract Urban green areas contribute to climate change mitigation, support biodiversity and host a wide range of social values important for urban residents. Understanding the interplay between values, carbon flow in is vital socially sustainable policy, but relationships three remain poorly explored. We assessed spatial non‐spatial relational intrinsic flow, across Helsinki, Finland, using logistic regression overlap analyses. To achieve this, we utilized pre‐existing datasets on modelled...
