Maddox, D., H. Nagendra, T. Elmqvist, A. Russ. 2017. Advancing Urbanization. Urban Environmental Education Review, pp. 13-20.
This chapter is part of Urban Environmental Education Review which explores how environmental education can contribute to urban sustainability. Urban environmental education includes any practices that create learning opportunities to foster individual and community well-being and environmental quality in cities. It fosters novel educational approaches and helps debunk common assumptions that cities are ecologically barren and...

This open access book brings together research findings and experiences from science, policy and practice to highlight and debate the importance of nature-based solutions to climate change adaptation in urban areas. Emphasis is given to the potential of nature-based approaches to create multiple-benefits for society. The expert contributions present recommendations for creating synergies between ongoing policy processes, scien...

Van der Jagt, A.P.N., L.R. Szaraz, T. Delshammar, R. Cvejic, A. Santos, J. Goodness, A. Buijs. 2017. Cultivating nature-based solutions: the governance of communal urban gardens in the European Union. Environmental Research 159: 264-275.
In many countries in the European Union (EU), the popularity of communal urban gardening (CUG) on allotments and community gardens is on the rise. Given the role of this practice in increasing urban resilience, most notably social resilience, municipalities in the Global North are promoting CUG as a nature-based solution (NbS). However, the mechanisms by which institutional actors can best support and facilitate CUG are unders...
Svedin U., S. Borgström, H. Liljenström. 2017. Connecting urban and regional socio-ecological transitions: paths to a non-fossil society in the Swedish Stockholm-Mälar area. Procedia Engineering 198: 1036-1045.
Introduction: The embedding of cities in a wider regional frame is central for long term planning regarding the transformation of such parts of society. This holds especially true for urban centers of national or sub national status. In this presentation we are drawing on 4 years of research work and stakeholder consultations in the Swedish part of the EU COMPLEX project dealing with the transition to non fossil societies. In ...
Padmanaban, R., A.K. Bhowmik, P. Cabral, A. Zamyatin, O. Almegdadi, S.G. Wang. 2017. Modelling urban sprawl using remotely sensed data: a case study of Chennai City, Tamilnadu. Entropy 19(4): 163.
Urban sprawl (US), propelled by rapid population growth leads to the shrinkage of productive agricultural lands and pristine forests in the suburban areas and, in turn, adversely affects the provision of ecosystem services. The quantification of US is thus crucial for effective urban planning and environmental management. Like many megacities in fast growing developing countries, Chennai, the capital of Tamilnadu and one of th...
Norström, A.V., P. Balvanera, M. Spierenburg, M. Bouamrane. 2017. Programme on Ecosystem Change and Society: knowledge for sustainable stewardship of social-ecological systems. Ecology and Society 22(1): 47.
The Programme on Ecosystem Change and Society (PECS) is an international research program with a focus on social-ecological systems and how we can transform them towards sustainable pathways. PECS has emerged in a time where many advances in sustainability science and practice are being inspired by social-ecological research (Fischer et al. 2015). While work on the interplay between nature and society has a long history and mu...
Haase, D., S. Kabisch, A. Haase, E. Andersson, E. Banzhaf, F. Baro, M. Brenck, L.K. Fischer, N. Frantzeskaki, N. Kabisch, K. Krellenberg, P. Kremer, J. Kronenberg, N. Larondelle, J. Mathey, S. Pauleit, I. Ring, D. Rink, N. Schwarz, M. Wolff. 2017. Greening cities - to be socially inclusive? About the alleged paradox of society and ecology in cities. Habitat International 64: 41-48.
Greening cities, namely installing new parks, rooftop gardens or planting trees along the streets, undoubtedly contributes to an increase in wellbeing and enhances the attractiveness of open spaces in cities. At the same time, we observe an increasing use of greening strategies as ingredients of urban renewal, upgrading and urban revitalization as primarily market-driven endeavours targeting middle class and higher income grou...
