European Union; agricultural land; brownfields; buildings; case studies; cities; climate; climate change; ecosystems; floods; food production; food safety; heat; hydroponics; infrastructure; land use; models; quality of life; soil; urbanization
Abstract:
... The tissue of cities is getting increasingly dense and compact, however, according to the current development models, the demand for living space per person, for industrial and commercial activities, for the transport infrastructure, requires more and more land, often to the detriment of agricultural fields, that surround cities. The occupation of agricultural lands has significant impact on the r ...

Abstract:
... Highly-crystalline 2-dimensional (2D) graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) nanosheets with low structural imperfection usually possess high photocatalytic activity that benefits from the suppressed electron–hole recombination. However, the conventional exfoliation strategy is incapable for fast and clean preparation of such highly-quality g-C₃N₄ nanosheets from their bulk-type counterparts. Herein, h ...

Abstract:
... Alternative food networks are emerging in opposition to industrial food systems, but are criticized as being exclusive, since customers’ ability to patronize these market spaces is premised upon their ability to pay higher prices for what are considered the healthiest, freshest foods. In response, there is growing interest in widening the demographic profile given access to these alternative foods ...
