  1. 21. Biodiversity in environmental assessment : tools for impact prediction

    Författare :Mikael Gontier; Berit Balfors; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Environmental technology; Environmental impact assessment; Strategic environmental assessment; Biodiversity assessment; Prediction tools; GIS; GIS-base ecological models; Miljöteknik; Environmental engineering; Miljöteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Urbanisation and infrastructure developments impact on the surrounding natural environment and threaten biodiversity. The fragmentation of natural habitats in particular is a major obstacle for the preservation of biodiversity in a long-term perspective. LÄS MER

  3. 22. An Assessment of the Potential for Bio-based Land Uses on Urban Brownfields

    Författare :Shaswati Chowdhury; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Urban Greenspaces UGSs ; Brownfields; Gentle Remediation Options GROs ; Bio-based CE; Bio-based land use; Circular Economy CE ;

    Sammanfattning : Circular Economy (CE) is expected to accelerate the emerging shift in resource consumption from finite to renewable, and plants are key in enabling the switch as industries would opt more and more for resources with a bio-based origin. Cities have an important role in the process not only as the main consumers of the resources but also because vegetation provides numerous tangible and intangible ecosystem services essential for the wellbeing of urban dwellers.

  4. 23. Systems Perspectives on Modelling and Managing Future Anthropogenic Emissions in Urban Areas : Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Carbon Studies in Stockholm, Sweden

    Författare :Jiechen Wu; Maria E. Malmström; Daniel Franzén; Daniel Müller; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Anthropogenic emissions; Urban development; Future; Substance flow analysis SFA ; DPSIR.;

    Sammanfattning : Managing anthropogenic emissions in urban areas is a major challenge in sustainable environmental development for cities, and future changes and increasing urbanisation may increase this challenge. Systems perspectives have become increasingly important in helping urban managers understand how different changes may alter future emissions and whether current management strategies can efficiently manage these emissions.

  5. 24. The Smart City – how smart can ’IT’ be? : Discourses on digitalisation in policy and planning of urban development

    Författare :Malin Granath; Karin Axelsson; Ulf Melin; Cecilia Katzeff; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Digitalisation; smart cities; urban planning and development; discourses; Digitalisering; smarta städer; stadsplanering och -utveckling; diskurser;

    Sammanfattning : Cities are facing many challenges; challenges linked to world-wide trends like urbanisation, climate changes and globalisation. In parallel to these trends, we have seen a rapid digitalisation in and of different parts of society. LÄS MER

  7. 25. On the temporal evolution of earth pressures in deep excavations in soft clay

    Författare :Johannes Tornborg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; field monitoring; heave; numerical modelling; earth pressures; soft natural clays; deep excavations;

    Sammanfattning : Urbanisation and sustainable development of cities drives the need to increasingly utilise underground space. Consequently, there is more demand for deeper and larger excavations in urban areas, pushing the limits of current engineering experience. LÄS MER
