Grön infrastruktur i urbana miljöer
Grön infrastruktur i urbana miljöer är en högaktuell fråga i de nordiska länderna eftersom den höga urbaniseringstakten innebär att allt mer naturmark tas i anspråk för byggnationer och infrastruktur i form av till exempel vägar. Vid planering av ny bebyggelse behöver möjligheterna att återskapa natur och öka biologisk mångfald beaktas. Eftersom människors hälsa främjas av vistelse i naturen samt att en stor andel av befolkningen föredrar att bo naturnära finns här en win-win situation att ta till vara. I denna rapport ger vi exempel på fyra olika koncept som kan användas vid stadsplanering för att gynna och stärka grön infrastruktur. Vi ger också en rad konkreta exempel på lyckade projekt i urbana miljöer och gör en analys av hur de har stärkt ekosystemtjänster och därmed grön infrastruktur.

Nature-Based Solutions to Climate Change Adaptation in Urban Areas
This open access book brings together research findings and experiences from science, policy and practice to highlight and debate the importance of nature-based solutions to climate change adaptation in urban areas. Emphasis is given to the potential of nature-based approaches to create multiple-benefits for society. The expert contributions present recommendations for creating synergies between ongoing policy processes, scientific programmes and practical implementation of climate change and nature conservation measures in global urban areas.

The Urban Forest
This book focuses on urban "green infrastructure" – the interconnected web of vegetated spaces like street trees, parks and peri-urban forests that provide essential ecosystem services in cities. The green infrastructure approach embodies the idea that these services, such as storm-water runoff control, pollutant filtration and amenities for outdoor recreation, are just as vital for a modern city as those provided by any other type of infrastructure. Ensuring that these ecosystem services are indeed delivered in an equitable and sustainable way requires knowledge of the physical attributes of trees and urban green spaces, tools for coping with the complex social and cultural dynamics, and an understanding of how these factors can be integrated in better governance practices. By conveying the findings and recommendations of COST Action FP1204 GreenInUrbs, this volume summarizes the collaborative efforts of researchers and practitioners from across Europe to address these challenges.
Green Infrastructure
With illustrative and detailed examples drawn from throughout the country, Green Infrastructure advances smart land conservation: large scale thinking and integrated action to plan, protect and manage our natural and restored lands. From the individual parcel to the multi-state region, Green Infrastructure helps each of us look at the landscape in relation to the many uses it could serve, for nature and people, and determine which use makes the most sense. In this wide-ranging primer, leading experts in the field provide a detailed how-to for planners, designers, landscape architects, and citizen activists.

Environmental compensation
Environmental impacts are increasing due to human activities. The overuse of the benefits nature provides us is the direct result of our failure to put a price on these benefits. One way of addressing this is to require environmental compensation. The purpose of the study is to provide Nordic Council of Ministers and national decision-makers with an overview of key conditions for increased, flexible and cost-effective application of compensation. The study shows that for a relatively small cost society can make a significant investment in the provision of biodiversity and ecosystem services by requiring compensation. The study outlines three main recommendations on how to increase the use of environmental compensation: 1. Stimulate supply of, and demand for, compensation 2. Clarify and supplement guidelines and legal framework 3. Strengthen Nordic cooperation on compensation
Urban Biodiversity
Urban biodiversity is an increasingly popular topic among researchers. Worldwide, thousands of research projects are unravelling how urbanisation impacts the biodiversity of cities and towns, as well as its benefits for people and the environment through ecosystem services. Exciting scientific discoveries are made on a daily basis. However, researchers often lack time and opportunity to communicate these findings to the community and those in charge of managing, planning and designing for urban biodiversity. On the other hand, urban practitioners frequently ask researchers for more comprehensible information and actionable tools to guide their actions. This book is designed to fill this cult...
