This study demonstrates that infrastructures that support agriculture productivity foster employment creation.
Green infrastructures are key elements for the delivery of ecosystem services in agricultural landscapes.
Population growth and migration, economic development, and climate change continuously reshape the evolutionary pathway of many urban infrastructure systems.
Here we provide a comprehensive literature review to examine how GBI affects FWEN in urban centers, an area which is currently understudied.
Urban agriculture offers an alternative land use for integrating multiple functions in densely populated areas
As of the
2000 Census the median household income was close to $38,000 with 16 % of the population living below the poverty line.
The three roofing systems each contain sustainable advantages to being “green.”
Urban agriculture is a global and growing pursuit that can contribute to economic development, job creation, food security and community building.
Urban green space and water features provide numerous social, environmental, and economic benefits
The uncertainty of a changing climate raises challenges for water infrastructure planning and design.
Sustainable development demands reliable water resources, yet traditional water management has broadly failed to avoid environmental degradation and contain infrastructure costs.
The debate on the role of urban agriculture in the sustainable city discourse remains unresolved in the conventional literature.
The population living in cities is continuously increasing worldwide.
Along the rapid pace of urbanization, urban agriculture is increasingly recognized as an important tool of sustainable food and nutrition supply.
We explore the global-scale feasibility of combining natural capital with engineering-based approaches to meet water security threats over the 21st century.
Climate change, population growth and land-use change have increased the risk of urban floods
This study examines the potential of a high-resolution grid-based model to show the impact of different degrees of urban land cover.
Inadequate infrastructure impedes the productivity of manufacturing firms, with negative consequences for the wider economy.
Urban water infrastructures are facing substantial risks from floods and droughts aggravated by global climate change, while the adaptation is highly dependent on local conditions.
In sub-Saharan Africa, exposure and vulnerability to climate risk are high across crucial economic sectors.
To accomplish California’s aggressive 100% clean energy by 2045, new sources of flexibility should be integrated into the system to ensure stable and reliable operation of the grid.
Urban centres are increasingly requiring more water than existing groundwater and surface water sources can supply.
We propose an agent-based model to study the im- pact that water canals and electric grid development have on the Water-Energy-Food (WEF) nexus in a rural area.
Representing the domain with higher spatial granularity enhances the ability to model the correct water portfolio of the power plants.
Sharable infrastructure, such as the centralized energy facility and wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), are widely employed in industrial parks.
Urban water systems face severe challenges such as urbanisation, population growth and
climate change.
Municipal wastewater typically contains many drugs and anthropogenic chemicals or biomarkers.
This study used HEC-HMS as the hydrologic model for the watershed, and HEC-RAS as the hydraulic model for rivers within the watershed.
20th-century stormwater infrastructure seeks to contain UHF, up to a design level, using combinations of basins, reservoirs and flood control channels.
Many cities are confronted with both water scarcity and urban flooding as centralized water infrastructures becoming increasingly inadequate in a changing climate.
Rapid urban growth and high density limited green areas in urban spaces of New Cairo.
Urbanization and low productivity are real threats to the sustainability of organic farming.
Evaluation of the water suitability for irrigation purposes using conventional approaches is generally expensive because it requires several parameters, particularly in developing countries
The impacts of socioeconomic conditions on multiple SDGs have not been evaluated separately from climate policies.
Perry, the main character in Terry Gilliam’s film “The Fisher King”, sought rejuvenation in parks and seemingly treated them as an oasis of calm.
