In this article, we study the ongoing redevelopment of post-war, modernist residential area Rosengård, located in Sweden’s third biggest city Malmö. We show how a planning and design strategy for has come to focus on ‘compact city’ typology line with Malmö’s creating ‘near, dense, green mixed city’. Such compact emphasizes high density, urbanity, proximity mixed-use as key values renewal, but a...

objective: oxidative stress that damages proteins result in aging and age related diseases. the aim of this study is to determine the effect of tocotrienol rich fraction (trf) on the expression of proteins in oxidative stress-induced caenohabditis elegans (c.elegans) which has homologous genes to humans. methods: the worms were treated with trf prior to, after and continuously in separate group...

introduction “green infrastructure” is a term that describes the abundance and distribution of natural features providing ecological services necessary for community wellbeing specially in urban areas where these are limited. green infrastructure is increasingly espoused by landscape conservation and metropolitan planning because it is an effective way to surrogate ecological network functions ...

BACKGROUND Lack of physical activity (PA) is a growing public health concern. There is a growing body of literature that suggests a positive relationship may exist between the amount of local green space near one's home and PA levels. For instance, park proximity has been shown to predict PA levels amongst certain populations. However, there is little evidence for the role of relatedness toward...

BACKGROUND With urbanisation increasing, it is important to understand how to design changing environments to promote mental wellbeing. Evidence suggests that local-area proportions of green space may be associated with happiness and life satisfaction; however, the available evidence on such associations with more broadly defined mental wellbeing in still very scarce. This study aimed to establ...

Urban green spaces encourage outdoor activity and social communication that contribute to the health of local residents. Examining the relationship between the use of urban green spaces and factors influencing their utilization can provide essential references for green space site selection in urban planning. In contrast to previous studies that focused on internal factors, this study highlight...
