Numerous fast-growing coastal cities in the Global South are exposed to coastal, fluvial and pluvial floods, as a consequence of decades-long rapid urbanisation and weak enforcement of planning regulations. Integrating Blue–Green... more

To fulfil international conservation commitments, governments have begun to recognise the need for more proactive marine planning policies, advocating sensitive engineering design that can deliver secondary benefits above and beyond the... more
Land-use changes in urban agglomerations alter the water cycle, aggravating floods, and putting assets and people at risk. When not properly conducted, city growth processes may induce imbalances related to ignoring natural constraints.... more
A critiquing document was completed by the reclaimWILD consultants and Karolina Peret and submitted to Aalborg University (AAU), Ministry of Building, and the Housing Association, as well as NIRAS Consultants, to review green... more
The text is an experimental sketch based on a dialogue between an ecohydrologist and an anthropologist of culture. The authors will subject a critical, interdisciplinary reflection to various water languages used colloquially or in... more
It has long been recognised that cities exhibit their own microclimate and are typically warmer than the surrounding rural areas. This 'mesoscale' influence is known as the urban heat island (UHI) effect and results largely from... more

Developing a general, predictive understanding of ecological systems requires knowing how much structural and functional relationships can cross scales and contexts. Here, we introduce the CROSSLINK project that investigates the role of... more

The ecological value of engineered marine structures can be enhanced by building-in additional habitat complexity. Pre-fabricated habitat units can be cheaply and easily cast from concrete into heterogeneous three-dimensional shapes and... more
Evidence shows that maintaining a relationship with nature is essential for human health and wellbeing. This is of great importance when migration to urban areas is increasing globally and the need for nature as well as green and blue... more

Research into urban commons has gained momentum in recent years. This article concentrates on the concept and analysis of urban water commons as social–ecological systems, which receive a less prominent focus in the literature than other... more
