Uses, opportunities and risks of artificial intelligence in participatory urban planning

Analytical, generative, and humanized AI could widen participatory urban planning through feedback analysis, visualization, and communication, but only if cities manage privacy, misinformation, opacity, and automated decision-making transparently and responsibly.

From soil to sustainability: developing collaborative research practice partnerships with urban farms

Long-term research-practice partnerships help urban farms align evidence with community priorities, combining co-design, local knowledge, and policy support to strengthen food justice, education, sustainability, and farm resilience across urban communities.

Technosols and urban metabolism for counteracting land take and re-shaping waste flows

Waste-based technosols emerge as a circular, nature-based response to urban land take and waste accumulation, restoring ecosystem services, supporting greening, and easing pressure on fertile peri-urban land for cities worldwide.

Evaluating the impacts of cool pavement on pedestrian-level heat stress indicators

Tucson’s cool-pavement trial delivered little pedestrian heat relief: air temperature increased slightly, wet-bulb globe temperature stayed unchanged, and the study showed why real-world testing matters before scaling urban heat interventions.

Crowd sensing for the environment: Citizen science and plant apps map how urbanization alters city soils and climate

Using 80 million crowd-sensed plant observations across 326 European cities, researchers mapped hidden soil and climate gradients, showing built-up areas homogenize while forests preserve diversity, cooling, and moisture within cities.

Urban trees can absorb more CO₂ than cars emit on some summer days, Munich study shows

Munich data show trees can outweigh traffic CO₂ on some summer days, yet yearly vegetation offsets stay near 2%; grasslands often remain net emitters because soil respiration exceeds uptake citywide.
