Urban green commons: Insights on urban common property systems
Global Environmental Change, 2013The aim of this paper is to shed new light on urban common property systems. We deal with urban commons in relation to urban green-space management, referring to them as urban green commons. Applying a property-rights analytic perspective, we synthesize information on urban green commons from three case-study regions in Sweden, Germany, and South ...

Biosurfactants from Urban Green Waste
ChemSusChem, 2009AbstractFrom waste came forth surfactants: Humic acid like substances isolated from 0–60 day‐old compost display excellent surface activity and solvent properties. These biosurfactants were used to solubilize a dye in water below and above their critical micellar concentration. The biosurfactant unimers appear to have higher dye‐solubilizing power than

Urban Neighborhood Green Index – A measure of green spaces in urban areas
Landscape and Urban Planning, 2012Abstract Urban green spaces (UGS) form an integral part of any urban area and quantity and quality of UGS is of prime concern for planners and city administrators. Objective measure of greenness using remote sensing images is percentage area of green, i.e., Green Index (GI), which is insensitive to spatial arrangement within the areal units ...

With the rapid growth of urbanization world over, multi-dimensional problems are a challenge. These problems are in the form of extensive concreting with less open spaces leading to heat island and albedo effects. Unplanned development of urban areas; such as; lack of optimization between vertical to horizontal expansion, lack of optimization between ...
