1. 21. Climate and geographical influence on the performance of infiltration-based facilities for managing runoff – Temporal and spatial variability

   Författare :Ivan Mantilla; Maria Viklander; Tone Merete Muthanna; Kelsey Flanagan; Vegard Nielsen; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Green infrastructure; hydrological performance; infiltration capacity; climatic pattern; saturated hydraulic conductivity; VA-teknik; Urban Water Engineering;

   Sammanfattning : Climate change is expected to lead to more intense and severe rainfall events in the future, significantly increasing the risk of urban flooding. This change, characterized by spatial and temporal shifts in precipitation patterns, presents a challenge to the capacity of existing urban drainage systems, which may lead to higher runoff volumes than they were initially designed to handle.

3. 22. Urban greenness and related health effects

   Författare :Åsa Persson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Exposure to urban greenness has been linked to a wide range of health outcomes, including many non-communicable health conditions which are presently among the largest contributors to the global burden of disease, such as cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, as well as mental disorders. Half of the world’s population now lives in urban areas; often affected by health hazards such as pollutants and heat islands, and characterized by low levels of physical activity, inadequate diets, and decreased access to nature.

4. 23. Urban green networks : a socio-ecological framework for planning and design of green and blue spaces in Sweden and China

   Författare :Na Xiu; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : Multi-disciplinary research is needed to address the issue of urban landscape fragmentation. Based on empirical and theoretical context analysis, a framework of network-based, socio-ecological methods and indicators that can be effectively applied by practitioners in different geographical locations was developed in this thesis.

5. 24. Green space management & residents' benefits : a study of Swedish rental multi-family housing areas

   Författare :Therese Lindgren; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : Management of green spaces in rental multi-family housing areas is discussed in a Swedish context and the benefits of maintenance for residents examined in this thesis. In Sweden, these green spaces are an important part of the urban green structure and the housing companies who manage these spaces are important green space providers. LÄS MER

7. 25. 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.
