Synergies and Trade-offs in Urban Green Infrastructure
Urban Green Infrastructure (UGI) is increasingly integrated into urban planning to tackle climate change, biodiversity loss, and public health challenges. Its multifunctionality and ability to deliver multiple Ecosystem Services (ESs) make UGI a "win-win" nature-based solution. Yet, focusing only …

The effectiveness of Urban Green Infrastructure for urban heat regulation.
Excess urban heat is one of the significant challenges for cities, which combinedly occurs and exacerbates with urban heat islands, heatwaves and climate change impacts. It diminishes the quality of urban life and makes cities intrinsically more vulnerable than rural areas. Extreme heat has claimed …

Rethinking Urban Green Infrastructure as a Means to Promote Avian Conservation
… an under-recognized potential for cities to use urban green infrastructure to contribute to avian biodiversity conservation. At the global scale, climate change and growing urbanization are primary global drivers leading to decline and homogenization in world bird populations. Birds are …

Spatially explicit humid heat stress projections in urban environments under climate change
Urban areas are centered at the intersection of a changing climate and increasing urban population as drivers of climate change, homes to urban populations and ecosystems, and hubs of potential to mitigate and adapt to climate change. Through their modification of the environment and unique …

Process oriented infrastructure for climate-driven forest migration through cities
… a process-oriented approach to map and design urban landscapes to facilitate forest migration under climate change. The focus lies on the connectivity of urban landscapes for effective seed dispersal. Since the migration of trees is a continuing process that does not rely on their future …

STRIKING A GREEN BALANCE: ASSESSING EQUITY IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF ELEVATED PUBLIC PARK PROJECTS IN PHILADELPHIA AND WASHINGTON D.C.
… impact of equitable development strategies on urban environmental justice. I focused on the extent to which the processes that accompany the highly visible large-scale park planning projects promote equity and inclusion in the Rail Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and the 11th Street Bridge …

Derelict to Dynamic: Examining Socioecological Productivity of Underutilized/Abandoned Industrial Infrastructure, and Application in Baltimore, Maryland
… heightened inclusivity of social and natural urban functions. Socioecological inequities are often highly conspicuous in declining post-industrial American cities such as Baltimore. Chronic social, economic, and environmental perturbations have rendered some of once critical American …

Vertical Green and its impact on the building energy and CO₂ balance
Climate change endangers urban populations by intensifying heat stress and heat-related health risks, amplified by the Urban Heat Island effect. Vertical green systems provide in-door cooling and thereby contribute to climate change adaptation. A vertical green system can be acknowledged as climate …
