Since half of the world's population lives in cities, urban ecosystem services have become essential to human health and wellbeing. Rapid urban growth has forced sustainable urban developers to rethink important steps by updating and, to some degree, recreating the human-ecosystem service linkage. Assessing, as well as estimating the losses of ecosystem services can denote the essential effects of urbanization and increasingly indicate where cities fall short. This book contains 13 thoroughly refereed contributions published within the Special Issue "Urban Ecosystem Services". The book addresses topics such as nature-based solutions, green space planning, green infrastructure, rain gardens, climate change, and more. The contributions highlight new findings for landscape architects, urban planners, and policymakers. Important future cities research is considered by looking at the system connectivity between the social and ecological sphere-via varying forms of urban planning, management, and governance. The book is supported by methods and models that utilize an urban sustainability and ecosystem service-centric focus by adding knowledge-base and real-world solutions into the urbanization phenomenon.Research & information: generalbicsscassessmentbaseline shiftsbiodiversityboreholescapacity buildingcitiescitizen scienceclimate changecommunity-buildingDelphi analysiseconomic benefitsecosystem disservicesecosystem servicesenvironmental planningflood resilienceforest fragmentationfull-scale infiltration testgreen infrastructuregreen spaceshedonic pricing analysishuman health, human-nature connection theoryincremental greenspace lossland consumption rate to the population growth rate (LCRPGR)LiDAR/NDVIMPD infiltration testmunicipal planning practicen/anature-based solutionsNBSnon-native speciesonline climate adaptation platformsplanning processprivatizationproperty rightsprotected speciesproximity principlepublic participationrange expansionresilience planningsitespecies distributionsstakeholdersSuDSsustainable development goal (SDG)systematic literature reviewthe tyranny of small decisionsurban adaptive capacityurban densificationurban ecosystem servicesurban governanceurban greenspaceurban nature connectionurban planningurban regenerationurban resilience theoryurban spaceurbanizationResearch & information: generalRusso Alessioedt512687Cirella Giuseppe TedtRusso AlessioothCirella Giuseppe TothBOOK9910557668203321Urban Ecosystem Services3032953UNINA
