Urban social–ecological–technological systems (SETS) are dynamic and respond to climate pressures. Change involves alterations to land and resource management, social organization, infrastructure, and design. Research often focuses on how climate chang

Limiting runoff has the obvious effect of reducing flooding, but also means our urban pollutants (mostly nitrates and sulfates) can be processed by soil bacteria and rendered harmless before they reach natural waterways. When land is covered by deep, porous, biologically active soil, streams are f...
Most researchers believed that the light-absorbing material in urban atmospheres did not travel very far from their source. Models of the atmospheric aerosol either ignored absorbing par- ticles (Toon and Pollack 1976) or assumed that they occurred only in urban aerosols (Shettle and Fenn 1979)....
The exhaust heat from current air-cooling systems has also been found to exacerbate the problem of urban heat island effect [42]. Further, the refrigerants used in ACs, hydrofluorocarbons, are potent greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change. Thus, even though AC is effective in ...
For the CDR-based people density distribution spatial scale (Figure A5), in the urban area such as Dongcheng, Xicheng Districts, the people density is much higher than the suburban area such as Huairou, Yanqing Districts, which suggests that the density decreases from the city centre to the ...
While some studies of chronic widespread musculoskeletal pain have suggested that there are no differences between urban and rural populations [13], global prevalence of pain conditions, especially in areas like Central America, South America, and Sub-Saharan Africa, is hard to truly estimate due to...
In urban areas, humans shape the surface, (re-)deposit natural or technogenic material, and thus become the dominant soil formation factor. The 2015 editio
GISP aims to highlight the multiple benefits of the infrastructure, including stormwater, social vulnerability, green space, air quality, urban heat island amelioration, and landscape connectivity. Furthermore, Goodspeed et al. (2021) introduced planning support systems (PSS), an analytical tool that...
