| description | In this master thesis, I have studied the beneficial effects that nature
has on the urban climate and our well-being – and why it has an effect
on us, as well as sustainable urban planning and ecosystem services.
How can we preserve and contribute to biodiversity, and the urban
ecosystem services that is necessary to secure the ecological links in
cities? To answer the questions, the regional council of Scania County
and Lund’s municipality have been surveyed to find out how the work
of green infrastructure looks like in practice at a regional and
municipal level. Their work is compared to EU:s requirements and
directives on the work of green infrastructure.
Today, cities are expanding fast, and it is resulting in a loss of urban
green space and nature. At the same time, cities are becoming
increasingly vulnerable to environmental changes such as droughts,
floods, heat stress, extremely cloud-burst and other natural disasters.
A loss of nature means not only a vulnerability to environmental
changes in cities, but it has negative effects of urban people’s wellbeing as well. It also results in loss of biodiversity which is important
for all ecosystem services. How can we, as planners, design for a
sustainable city? What is a sustainable city development? |

I detta examensarbete har jag undersökt effekter som naturen har för stadsklimatet och vårt välbefinnande – varför det har effekt på oss, samt hållbar stadsutveckling och ekosystemtjänster. Hur kan vi bevara och bidra till den biologiska mångfalden, och därmed ekosystemtjänster i städer som kan säkra upp de ekologiska sambanden? För att svara på frågorna har Region Skåne och Lunds kommuns arbete av grön infrastruktur studerats på en regional- samt kommunal nivå. Detta jämförs med EU:s krav och direktiv kring arbetet av grön infrastruktur. Idag expanderar städer fort vilket resulterar i en förlust av grönområden och natur. Samtidigt blir städerna alltmer sårbara för miljöförändringar som torka, översvämningar, värmespänning, skyfall och andra naturkatastrofer. En förlust av natur innebär inte bara en sårbarhet för miljöförändringar i städer, utan även ett sämre välmående för stadsmänniskor. Det resulterar också i förlust av biologisk mångfald som är viktig för alla ekosystemtjänster. Vilka metoder kan vi som stadsplanerare arbeta med för hållbar utveckling? Vad är hållbar stadsutveckling? SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101) 2020 H2 swe eng https://stud.epsilon.slu.se/16077/ |
