ecosystems also include energy use and the import, transformation, and export of materials. Suchenergyand material transformations involve not onlybeneficialproducts (such as transportation and housing) but alsopollution, wastes, and excessheat. Urban ecosystems are often warmer than other ecosystems that...
The production of waste as a consequence of human activities is one of the most fundamental challenges facing our society and global ecological systems. Waste generation is rapidly increasing, with corresponding shifts in the structure of our societies, where almost all nations are moving from rural ...
Through so doing, a bottom-up picture of the metabolic interactions among socio, economic, and environmental systems at the neighborhood scale was portrayed. Secondly, by dividing overall eco-efficiency into input and output efficiency it was possible to better highlight the requirements of a ...
As populations continue to migrate from rural to urban areas, space is at a premium. Many settlements are becoming ever-morecongested– with adequate, affordable housing in short supply and transport systems struggling to serve their respective residents. But as much the conversation about urbanizatio...

These settlements may be unique hotspots for environmental AMR transmission given: (1) the high density of humans, livestock and vermin living in close proximity; (2) frequent antibiotic misuse; and (3) insufficient drinking water, drainage and sanitation infrastructure. Here, we highlight the ...
Similarly, we have not delved into the comparative differences which exist among path-dependent legal systems and governance structures. Moreover, all the selected vignettes are European case studies of high visibility. Contrasting these findings with observations of smaller, lesser-known cities, ...
