Planning for Ecosystem Services in CitiesConclusions

Planning for Ecosystem Services in Cities: Conclusions [This book focused on the relation between urban planning and ecosystem services (ES), acknowledging their potential role in addressing many challenges of todays’ cities. Planning decisions are one of the most influential factors determining the amount and spatial distribution of both ES supply and demand in cities. Hence, there is a need to integrate ES knowledge in planning processes, not only to measure and possibly reduce the negative impacts of planning decision on ES provision, but also to enable the proactive enhancement of ES through effective actions. To this overall aim, the book reviewed the state of the art of ES integration in current planning practices (Chaps. 2 and 3), presented an exemplary model for ES assessment specifically developed to support urban planning (Chap. 4), illustrated how ES information can be applied to support real-life planning decisions (Chap. 5), and discussed the design of ES assessments to analyse the equitable distribution of ES in cities (Chap. 6).] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[This book focused on the relation between urban planning and ecosystem services (ES), acknowledging their potential role in addressing many challenges of todays’ cities. Planning decisions are one of the most influential factors determining the amount and spatial distribution of both ES supply and demand in cities. Hence, there is a need to integrate ES knowledge in planning processes, not only to measure and possibly reduce the negative impacts of planning decision on ES provision, but also to enable the proactive enhancement of ES through effective actions. To this overall aim, the book reviewed the state of the art of ES integration in current planning practices (Chaps. 2 and 3), presented an exemplary model for ES assessment specifically developed to support urban planning (Chap. 4), illustrated how ES information can be applied to support real-life planning decisions (Chap. 5), and discussed the design of ES assessments to analyse the equitable distribution of ES in cities (Chap. 6).]
