Using work David Stark and Ignacio Farías as an entry point this perspective, it shows how can be understood a collective process finding negotiated settlements among conflicting accounts value, through practices coordination. idea is illust...

Nature-based solutions are claimed to offer an effective approach tackle societal challenges and promote biodiversity. While research has mainly focused on biodiversity material ecosystem services, non-material contributions relational values of urban green spaces remain underexplored. How balance the benefits nature, well-being, in their design performance evaluation remains unclear. To elicit...

Sustainable urban development is a focus of regional policy makers; therefore, how to measure and understand urban growth is an important research topic. This paper quantified the amount of urban growth on land use maps that were derived from multi-temporal Landsat images of Jiaxing City as a rapidly-growing city in Zhejiang Province from 2000–2015. Furthermore, a new approach coupled the heuri...

The quality of life for people in urban regions can be improved by predicting urban human mobility and adjusting urban planning accordingly. In this study, we compared several possible variables to verify whether a gravity model (a human mobility prediction model borrowed from Newtonian mechanics) worked as well in inner-city regions as it did in intra-city regions. We reviewed the resident pop...
