Hardback. Condition: New. Global urbanization promises better services, stronger economies, and more connections; it also carries risks and unforeseeable consequences. To deepen our understanding of this complex process and its importance for global sustainability, we need to build interdisciplinary knowledge around a systems approach. Urban Planet takes an integrative look at our urban environment, bringing together scholars from a diverse range of disciplines: from sociology and political science to evolutionary biology, geography, economics and engineering. It includes the perspectives of often neglected voices: architects, journalists, artists and activists. The book provides a much needed cross-scale perspective, connecting challenges and solutions on a local scale with drivers and policy frameworks on a regional and global scale. The authors argue that to overcome the major challenges we are facing, we must embark on a large-scale reinvention of how we live together, grounded in inclusiveness and sustainability. This title is also available Open Access.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The NATURA Global Roadmap for Urban Nature-based Solutions is the most comprehensive effort to date to assess the state of knowledge and practice of nature-based solutionS (NbS) in cities and urbanized regions around the world. As cities face escalating challenges - from climate change and biodiversity loss to public health crises and social inequities - the need for sustainable, resilient solutions has never been more urgent. NbS offers a powerful, adaptable approach, working with nature to tackle these interconnected issues while enhancing urban livability and ecosystem health. Though NbS are not a panacea, cities around the world are embracing them as a key component of sustainability and resilience investments. The Global Roadmap is the first comprehensive global assessment of urban nature-based solutions, built from seven Regional Assessments spanning Africa, Asia, Oceania, MENA, Europe, US-Canada, and Latin America-alongside a Global Synthesis Report and Summary for Policymakers.By bringing together scientific research, expert insights, and real-world case studies, the Roadmap offers clear, actionable guidance for decision-makers at every level.Its structure highlights the diversity of urban contexts while providing a cohesive global perspective to guide effective, equitable, and sustainable NbS investments for the future.The Global Roadmap draws on the expertise of regional leads, multidisciplinary teams, and global practitioners. From literature reviews and case studies to expert workshops and rigorous peer review, the assessment process ensures the final insights are both grounded in evidence and reflective of real-world practices. The result A vital resource empowering policymakers, urban planners, researchers, and communities to drive forward nature-based solutions that create greener, more resilient cities for generations to come.…

Hardback. Condition: New. Nature-based solutions (NBS) are increasingly being adopted to address climate change, health, and urban sustainability, yet ensuring they are effective and inclusive remains a challenge. Addressing these challenges through chapters by leading experts in both global south and north contexts, this book advances the science of NBS in cities and discusses the frontiers for next-generation urban NBS.NBS are fundamentally inter- and transdisciplinary approaches that require systems thinking and multilevel governance. With a focus on the multiple challenges that cities face, from heat and air pollution to storm water and threats to human health, this book puts forward a diversity of ideas for embracing complexity in mainstreaming NBS and inspiring new approaches to create the ecological urban futures we need.Speaking to the need for cities around the world to employ ecological, nature-based design, this book will be essential reading for early career professionals, practitioners, scholars, and students across multiple disciplines engaging with nature-based solutions including urban ecology, design, architecture, landscape architecture, geography, urban planning, policy, and management.…
