Urban green spaces provide important recreational, social and psychological benefits to stressed city residents. This paper aims to understand the importance of parks for visitors. We focus on Delhi, the world’s second most populous city, drawing on 123 interviews with park visitors in four prominent city parks. Almost all respondents expressed the need for more green spaces. Visitors valued parks primarily for environmental and psychological/health benefits.

This study uses a spatially-explicit land-use/land-cover (LULC) modeling approach to model and map the future (2016–2030) LULC of the area surrounding the Laguna de Bay of Philippines under three different scenarios: ‘business-as-usual’, ‘compact development’, and ‘high sprawl’ scenarios. The Laguna de Bay is the largest lake in the Philippines and an important natural resource for the population in/around Metro Manila.

Urban expansion and its ecological footprint increases globally at an unprecedented scale and consequently, the importance of urban greenery assessment grows. The diversity and quality of urban green spaces (UGS) and human well-being are tightly linked, and UGS provide a wide range of ecosystem services (e.g., urban heat mitigation, stormwater infiltration, food security, physical recreation).

One of the major consequences of expansive urban growth is the degradation and loss of productive agricultural land and agroecosystem functions. Four landscape metrics—Percentage of Land (PLAND), Mean Parcel Size (MPS), Parcel Density (PD), and Modified Simpson’s Diversity Index (MSDI)—were calculated for 1 km × 1 km cells along three 50 km-long transects that extend out from the Adelaide CBD, in order to analyze variations in landscape structures. Each transect has different land uses beyond the built-up area, and they differ in topography, soils, and rates of urban expansion.

• There is an accute lack of well-located urban housing that is adequate, secure, and affordable. The global affordable housing gap is currently estimated at 330 million urban households and is forecast to grow by more than 30 percent to 440 million households, or 1.6. billion people, by 2025.

Geoffrey Payne outlines five fundamental propositions that are key to his understanding of tenure issues and policy options.

These are:

1) That access to affordable land with adequate security of tenure and associated rights is a pre-condition for realising the goal of adequate housing and poverty reduction;

Cette journée de réflexion a été consacrée à la sécurisation de l’accès au sol et à l’habitat dans les villes du Sud, et notamment aux marges de celles-ci, dans les quartiers dits précaires ou informels. Elle s’inscrit dans la continuité des débats initiés lors de la 3e conférence mondiale des Nations unies sur le logement et le développement urbain durable (Habitat III), qui s’est tenue à Quito en 2016.

La présente modifie les dispositions des articles 1, 3, et 7 de la loi n° 2013-47 du 1er novembre 2013, relative aux dispositions dérogatoires concernant les procédures de changement de vocation des terres agricoles, de déclassement des terrains relevant du domaine forestier de l’Etat et de l’aménagement et de l’urbanisation des terrains, situés à l’extérieur des zones couvertes par des plans d’aménagement et affectés pour l’exécution du programme spécifique pour le logement social et à la création des zones industrielles et la poursuite de l’application des procédures dérogatoires qu’elle
