The intensified accumulation of greenhouse gasses has led to rapid changes in global temperature trends and climate. In urban areas, this issue may also be exacerbated by the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect. There is an extensive body of studies investigating the effectiveness of nature-based solutions in addressing these concerns.

ABSTRACT Urbanisation is altering local flora and fauna, but urban greenspaces can provide refugia for a variety of taxa. However, we often lack basic biodiversity information (e.g., species richness) for these urban greenspaces. Citizen science projects are continuously improving our understanding of ecology at broad temporal and ...

NOVELTY AND NOSTALGIA IN URBAN GREENSPACE: REFUGEE PERSPECTIVES
Tijdschrift voor Economische en Sociale Geografie, 2006This paper investigates migrants' perceptions and experiences of urban greenspaces. The research used innovative participatory and visual (photography) methods and the 12 week programme included visits to 10 greenspaces in Sheffield. The participants were all asylum seekers and refugees from Asia and Africa.

IMPACTS OF URBAN LANDSCAPE FUNCTIONAL TYPES ON URBAN GREENSPACE
Environmental Engineering and Management Journal, 2013Studying the relationship between urban typical landscape functional types and vegetation communities will conduct to information on management measures, people’s activities etc. Moreover, this could attain an important role for the research of other ecological phenomena where human activities are involved. According to the data collected from the said

The ecology and structure of urban greenspaces
1991To human society as a whole, the greatest value of urban greenspaces does not lie in conservation. Rather, it lies in a range of other functions including softening the appearance of towns, modifying microclimates, providing an appropriate setting for environmental exploration and education, and reminding people of the far greater range of habitats and

Exploring Urban Greenspace and Biodiversity in Tropical Africa
Africa is urbanising at a faster rate than any other continent. However, the biodiversity, and habitats on which it depends, in and around African cities remain understudied. This leaves policy and decision makers working to retain, restore and enhance urban green and blue spaces across the continent short of the context-specific evidence that they ...Dallimer, Martin +5 more

Biophilic soundscape design in urban greenspaces
INTER-NOISE and NOISE-CON Congress and Conference ProceedingsImmersion in wilderness dominated by natural soundscapes can generate health-restoring effects. Inspired in this concept, urban green spaces can be designed to recreate the conditions of the natural environment so that their soundscapes produce these potential benefits for the population.
