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,
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
The nature of urban risk and disasters is changing. Hazards are increasing in intensity and frequency and their causes and after-effects are becoming more complex. Their unpredictable nature and impacts have a significant bearing on the mental wellbeing, fear, and stress levels of those who experience them, and on those involved in disaster risk reduction and management. Despite this situation, th
Ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) to climate change is an approach claimed to deliver social benefits relevant to marginalized groups. Based on a structured literature review, we interrogate such claims, asking whether such approaches may (or may not) contribute to social change and, more specifically, empowerment. We present a review of the predominant meaning and interlinkages of the EbA and empo
Högerpopulism och fascism är allt mer närvarande i samtiden, både på gatorna och i Facebookflödena. Idag är det inte längre tabubelagt att uttrycka främlingsfientliga åsikter och nätaktivisterna har börjat ta steget ut i offentligheten genom aktioner och manifestationer. I den här scenen tar vi avstamp i detta här och nu, i en scen om svårigheten att förhålla sig till de som verkar göra gott men i
Be it in prose or be it in poetry, Charles Bukowski proposes anarchic protagonists, critical of the Establishment and absorbed in writing. Muses are plenty, but the real fuel for inspiration is alcohol, especially beer. Epic in poetry, abrupt in prose, Bukowski is unflinchingly honest and self-demythologizing. His hedonism and drunkenness are masks put on his revolt against the world and his own f
Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS) is used to acquire three-dimensional (3D) city model data over large areas. However, because of the long ALS update cycle, building information models (BIM) could be utilized to maintain city models. In this study, we designed, implemented, and evaluated a methodology to formalize the integration of BIM data into city models. CityGML models were created from BIM data
