Dwell Time Delays for Commuter Trains in Stockholm and Tokyo

The paper analyses dwell time delays for commuter trains in Stockholm and Tokyo. In both cities, small dwell time delays of at most five minutes make up around 90% of the total delays. Therefore, it is valuable to understand and deal with these disturbances. To this end, we use high resolution data on dwell times and passenger counts from both countries over the last several years.

Environmental and climate hazards, such as floods, increasingly cause damages in cities and urbanised areas in Germany. The capacity of the impacted populations to cope with the outcome of related disasters is, amongst others, influenced by their vulnerability. Vulnerability reduction is thus key for creating social or structural resilience. This is particularly the case during post-disaster recov

Resilience through nature-based solutions : Governance and implementation

In recent years nature-based solutions (NBS) have received increasing attention as a way to enhance urban resilience. NBS are often presented as an alternative or combination to grey infrastructure in disaster risk reduction and climate adaptation. More generally, they are seen as a deliberate intervention that seeks to use the properties of nature to simultaneously provide environmental, social,

Resilient urban water services

The sustainable development of cities is threatened by a worldwide water crisis, which puts urban water services (including drinking water, sanitation, and drainage) at increasing risk. Despite a shared understanding of the importance of addressing the issue, there is a peculiar lack of action and resistance at all levels. To make matters worse, risk reduction and resilience building measures seem
