The survey looked at numerous variables to quantify “quality of life”, including housing, schools, mobility, air pollution and employment. The survey also considered satisfaction with services, and satisfaction with the performance of the city’s mayor. For quality of life, the top ranking city ...
Air pollution is a pressing environmental concern in urban areas, especially in densely populated cities like Delhi, India. However, plant species can effectively capture airborne suspended pollutants. Given this, the present study aimed to investigate the seasonal variations (pre- and post-monsoon) ...
As street view images do not contain elements of live auditing such as noise, temperature, humidity, airflow, etc., as well as socio-economic and human perception data that cannot be collected on site. Research in this direction should focus on the integration of street view with multiple dat...
01 to Nov. 16, 2020 for all 91 counties in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut in the United States. We calculated the COVID-19 incidence %, daily reproduction number, and mortality %, then estimated the associations with urban environment indicators using regression models. COVID-19 ...
intangible (Gashu and Gebre-Egziabher2019). These public perceptions seem to be influenced by demographics, gender, and educational level. For instance, educated elders and females appear to be more sensitive to the environmental risks to human well-being in some communities, such as poor air ...
New York, USA. Vacant lot infiltration rates vary widely (0.001 to 5.39 cm h−1), though parcels are generally well-vegetated and gently sloped. Extending field estimates to 2400 vacant parcels, we estimate that vacant lands citywide may cumulatively infiltrate 51–54% additional annual ...

When considering local air pollution, an exponent β ≈ 3/4 (decreasing returns to scale) was observed for US metropolitan areas19. There is also evidence supporting the idea that the scaling between emissions and population depends on the degree of economic development of the urban systems,...
Urban areas are the largest source of pollutants that directly or indirectly will end up in the air, soil, and water. It is paramount to find solutions to reduce the impact of pollution on climate change, ecosystem services, biodiversity loss, and human health. Nature-based solutions (NBS) ...
