Sustainable development policies and spatial planning for maintaining greenery are crucial all major cities in the world, measurement of green space indicators practice needs to evolve response demands times technological drivers. This study explores an informal urban indicator, view index (GVI), which uses visual perception observer measure quality by simulating pedestrian perspective road street-view image data then calculating proportion vegetation landscape. The GVI is different from macro indicators, such as public recreational space, forest coverage, rate, derived or remote sensing traditional planning; it starts bottom-up individual residents more relevant their subjective demands. At present, most international have made outstanding achievements controlling rates, other macrolevel quality; however, with promotion concept “human-oriented” planning, potential restoration at microlevel gradually being recognized. To ensure efficiency reliability this study, inspired computer vision techniques related studies, a research method based on chromaticity was built identify proportions street images, credibility improved eliminating unreliable data. By using method, we could evaluate city overall scale instead previous block scale. final result showed that Shenzhen friendly human senses, streets developed areas generally higher than developing areas. geostatistical analysis viewpoint provides intuitive guide researchers planners, believed inform design environmentally friendly, smart, sustainable future cities.

Urban vegetation provides many social and environmental benefits, yet integrating diverse into urban areas can be difficult due to spatial financial constraints. Naturalistic streetscape plantings have gained popularity as a method improve diversity without requiring additional land or maintenance costs. In temperate climates, these are typically meadow-style informed by research on people's preferences. Yet in Mediterranean-type naturalistic reflect shrub-dominated native vegetation, for which public aesthetic preferences largely unknown. To address this gap we conducted an online survey Perth, Australia where respondents (n = 985) rated their 32 computer-generated images of streetscape, naturalistic, woody that differed structure (low (<1 m), mid, upper (>2 m)), flower presence, foliage colour, visual symmetry. These were compared image low-input lawn, representing typical local government-maintained streetscape. We also assessed how worldviews, plant knowledge, demographics, suburb scale tree cover influenced liked 88%, lawn disliked 87% respondents. The most preferred aspects multiple structural layers, flowers, both green grey foliage. Positive dislike stronger from with pro-environmental greater who resided suburbs higher cover. Therefore, recommend publicly acceptable quality. Overall, insights the nexus between ecological values planning design sustainable greening warming, drying climate.

Abstract This article argues for the importance of integrating a mobility perspective into urban greenspace planning and practice related to 2024 EU Nature Restoration Law. Street greenery can play an important multifunctional role in promoting ecosystem services functions, sustainable mobility, human health well-being. However, planners need more evidence on how street vegetation affects well-being during everyday active as well what type, where whom enhance vegetation. We discuss current advancements gaps literature these topics, identify key research priorities support restoration policy practice. These include: moving beyond dominant scientific thinking being place through space understanding exposure experience; use multiple metrics with attention temporal dynamics; integration objective subjective assessments; investigating further reducing environmental injustices.

Although recent studies have explored links between landscape biodiversity and human health, the exact effects of specific types biodiversity—such as variety species or genera—on health outcomes are still uncertain. In this review, we evaluate our current knowledge how influences in different cultural contexts. We systematically assessed peer-reviewed literature to: 1) summarize variability outcomes; 2) describe pathways used to examine these links; 3) compare subjective perceptions with objective measures; 4) any known connections perceived outcomes. analyzed 41 published 2018 2023, covering research from 15 countries on five continents. A key finding was lack significant variability, like richness, only one-third reported positive effects. identified two main pathways: restoring capacities (mental health) building (physical health). The public could identify levels, correlating health. Future should explore varied mechanisms, physical outcomes, causal relationships, across diverse populations regions.
