Opposing Impacts of Greenspace Fragmentation on Land Surface Temperature in Urban and Surrounding Rural Areas: A Case Study in Changsha, China

Remote Sensing
Managing the amount of greenspace (i.e., increasing or decreasing greenspace coverage) and optimizing greenspace configuration (i.e., increasing or decreasing greenspace fragmentation) are cost-effective approaches to cooling the environment. The spatial

Measures of Greenspace Exposure and Their Association to Health-Related Outcomes for the Periods before and during the 2020 Lockdown: A Cross-Sectional Study in the West of England

Land, 2023
Greenspaces are argued to be one of the important features in the urban environment that impact the health of the population. Previous research suggested either positive, negative, or no associations between greenspaces and health-related outcomes.

The untapped potential of urban nature to generate well‐being within migrant communities

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Urban nature supports mental health in cities, with benefits including reduced stress and anxiety, enhanced positive emotions and increased social connection. However, most evidence concerns dominant communities in high‐income countries, neglecting marginalised groups such as migrants, refugees, sexual minorities and neurodivergent individuals.

Where greenspace matters most: A systematic review of urbanicity, greenspace, and physical health

Landscape and Urban Planning, 2022
Abstract Greenspace in urban areas may have greater protective health effects than elsewhere. Urban dwellers experience more environmental harmful exposures, attentional demands, and stressors than their suburban/rural counterparts. In this systematic review, we synthesize the results of studies that examined how the greenspace and health ...

Association Between Urban Greenspace and Mental Wellbeing During the COVID-19 Pandemic in a U.S. Cohort

Frontiers in Sustainable Cities, 2021
The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic brought unprecedented socially isolating measures to mitigate the spread of disease, heightening the importance of public outdoor urban greenspace.

Social‐ecological signatures in plant species composition across Swiss cities and urban green space types

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Cities can harbor greater plant diversity than other ecosystems, yet how city sociocultural factors may determine differences in plant composition across equivalent urban green space types remains understudied. Here, we compare plant communities in five main urban greenspace types across three Swiss cities representing the country's French (Geneva ...

Green, Green Grass of Home: A GIS-Based Analysis of Greenspace Accessibility in Quezon City [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences
Urban greenspace provision in Quezon City is uneven, producing environmental inequities despite the existence of relatively large green areas. Using a GIS-based network analysis aligned with a modified Accessible Natural Greenspace Standard (ANGSt), this

Practical Methodology for Developing Visions for Carbon‐Neutral Cities and Communities

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cities and communities play important roles in sustainable development and climate change mitigation. This study presents a novel framework for developing carbon‐neutral visions for cities and communities. We established five “principles,” investigated options encompassing four parameters (management, goal setting, actions, and quantification),
