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. 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 610 $aassessment 610 $abaseline shifts 610 $abiodiversity 610 $aboreholes 610 $acapacity building 610 $acities 610 $acitizen science 610 $aclimate change 610 $acommunity-building 610 $aDelphi analysis 610 $aeconomic benefits 610 $aecosystem disservices 610 $aecosystem services 610 $aenvironmental planning 610 $aflood resilience 610 $aforest fragmentation 610 $afull-scale infiltration test 610 $agreen infrastructure 610 $agreen spaces 610 $ahedonic pricing analysis 610 $ahuman health, human-nature connection theory 610 $aincremental greenspace loss 610 $aland consumption rate to the population growth rate (LCRPGR) 610 $aLiDAR/NDVI 610 $aMPD infiltration test 610 $amunicipal planning practice 610 $an/a 610 $anature-based solutions 610 $aNBS 610 $anon-native species 610 $aonline climate adaptation platforms 610 $aplanning process 610 $aprivatization 610 $aproperty rights 610 $aprotected species 610 $aproximity principle 610 $apublic participation 610 $arange expansion 610 $aresilience planning 610 $asite 610 $aspecies distributions 610 $astakeholders 610 $aSuDS 610 $asustainable development goal (SDG) 610 $asystematic literature review 610 $athe tyranny of small decisions 610 $aurban adaptive capacity 610 $aurban densification 610 $aurban ecosystem services 610 $aurban governance 610 $aurban greenspace 610 $aurban nature connection 610 $aurban planning 610 $aurban regeneration 610 $aurban resilience theory 610 $aurban space 610 $aurbanization 615 7$aResearch & information: general 700 $aRusso$b Alessio$4edt$0512687 702 $aCirella$b Giuseppe T$4edt 702 $aRusso$b Alessio$4oth 702 $aCirella$b Giuseppe T$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557668203321 996 $aUrban Ecosystem Services$93032953 997 $aUNINA
