Urban biodiversity is an increasingly popular topic among researchers. Worldwide, thousands of research projects are unravelling how urbanisation impacts the biodiversity of cities and towns, as well as its benefits for people and the environment through ecosystem services. Exciting scientific discoveries are made on a daily basis. However, researchers often lack time and opportunity to communicate these findings to the community and those in charge of managing, planning and designing for urban biodiversity. On the other hand, urban practitioners frequently ask researchers for more comprehensible information and actionable tools to guide their actions.This book is designed to fill this cultural and communicative gap by discussing a selection of topics related to urban biodiversity, as well as its benefits for people and the urban environment. It provides an interdisciplinary overview of scientifically grounded knowledge vital for current and future practitioners in charge of urban biodiversity management, its conservation and integration into urban planning. Topics covered include pests and invasive species, rewilding habitats, the contribution of a diverse urban agriculture to food production, implications for human well-being, and how to engage the public with urban conservation strategies.For the first time, world-leading researchers from five continents convene to offer a global interdisciplinary perspective on urban biodiversity narrated with a simple but rigorous language. This book synthesizes research at a level suitable for both students and professionals working in nature conservation and urban planning and management.

This book explores the attempts of South Korea in its to achieve the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. It addresses 6 of the 17 goals, clean water, affordable and clean energy, decent work and economic growth, sustainable cities and communities, climate action, and partnership, and defines specific national strategies. For each strategy, the contributors define the research indicators they selected, then analyze and examine the extent to which South Korea has met the SDG concerned. They draw these conclusions from national and international reports, government documents and policy papers on SDGs. South Korea’s experience in sustainable development and green programs will contribute to the planning of long-term development strategies for developing countries.

Flächeninanspruchnahme in Deutschland – Auf dem Wege zu einem besseren Verständnis der Siedlungs- und Verkehrsflächenentwicklung Dieses Buch behandelt konzeptionelle und methodische Grundlagen zur Beschreibung und Erklärung der Flächennutzung und Flächenentwicklung. Ausgewählte Autorinnen und Autoren aus verschiedensten Forschungs- und Planungsinstitutionen stellen eine breite Vielfalt an aktuellen Forschungsansätzen zur Umwidmung von Freiflächen in Siedlungs- und Verkehrsflächen (Flächeninanspruchnahme) in Deutschland vor. In den einzelnen Kapiteln wird auf wichtige Fragen eingegangen: Wie messen und erklären wir Zustand und Struktur der Flächennutzung? Welche Instrumente können langfristig eine nachhaltige Flächenentwicklung unterstützen? Welche Herausforderungen bestehen für das Flächenmanagement im ländlichen Raum? Welche Einflussgrößen prägen die Siedlungsstruktur und Siedlungsentwicklung in Deutschland? Das Buch richtet sich an alle, die sich für den schonenden Umgang mit der begrenzten Ressource Boden, die räumliche Struktur und Entwicklung der Flächeninanspruchnahme, das komplexe Ursachenbündel der Siedlungs- und Verkehrsflächenentwicklung und die Instrumente einer nachhaltigen und klimagerechten Flächennutzungsentwicklung interessieren.

"The World Health Organization estimates that, by 2030, six out of every ten people in the world will live in a city. But what does it mean to inhabit the city in the twenty-first century? 'Posthuman Urbanism' evaluates the relevance and usefulness of posthuman theory to understanding the urban subject and its conditions of possibility. It argues that contemporary science and technology is radically changing the way that we understand our bodies and that understanding ourselves as 'posthuman' offers new insights into urban inequalities. By analyzing the relationship between the biological sciences and cities from the nineteenth-century onward as it is expressed in architecture, popular culture and case studies of contemporary insurgent practices, a case is made for posthuman urbanism as a significant concept for changing the meaning of urban space. It answers the question of how we can change ourselves to change the way we live with others, both human and non-human, in a rapidly urbanizing world."--
