Manuscript Topics

As cities continue to grow and face various challenges related to climate change, population density, air pollution, the role of urban green spaces in boosting urban resilience has become increasingly important. Urban green spaces offer a multitude of ecosystem services, including improved air quality, climate mitigation, food production and opportunities for recreation and community engagement. This special issue of Urban Resilience and Sustainability, edited by Dr Alessio Russo from the University of Gloucestershire, seeks to explore the multifaceted relationship between urban green spaces and urban resilience. We invite researchers and practitioners to contribute to this important dialogue by submitting their original research, case studies, and reviews.

Topics of interest:
We welcome submissions that explore, but are not limited to, the following topics:
• Urban Green Spaces and Ecosystem Services: Research on the ecological benefits of urban green spaces, such as their role in supporting ecosystem services and their contribution to urban sustainability
• Urban Green Spaces and Biodiversity: Studies on the impact of urban green spaces on biodiversity conservation, habitat creation, and the promotion of urban wildlife
• Urban Green Spaces and Inequalities: Analyses of how urban green spaces can reduce or exacerbate social and environmental inequalities within urban areas
• Urban Green Spaces, Mental Health, Wellbeing, and Quality of Life: Investigations into the effects of urban green spaces on mental health, well-being, and overall quality of life for urban residents
• Urban Green Spaces during and after the COVID-19 Pandemic: Exploration of the evolving role of urban green spaces in supporting public health and well-being during and after the pandemic
• Urban Green Spaces and Urbanisation: Assessments of how urban green spaces can adapt and thrive in the face of increasing urbanisation, including innovative design, and planning approaches
