INSIGHTS ON THE RECONFIGURATION OF FRAGILE INDUSTRIAL WATERFRONTS DEFINED BY CLIMATE CHANGE AND ECONOMIC DECLINE. The case of Coney Island Creek, New York. KU Leuven
At first sight, cities are accumulations of the tangible, the perceivable and the more static: buildings and streets, infrastructures and waterways, houses and schools and parks and supermarkets. But cities worldwide are simultaneously under constant pressure from an intangible discourse, from changes caused by shocks and stresses, which require them to respond and adapt in a resilient way. These shocks and stresses can result from ...

Social change in Southeast Europe after the Second World War: The view from the periphery Ghent University
The political economies of the states of Southeast Europe after the Second World War were shaped by the doctrine of development. In the long term and from a global perspective, development politics failed to advance the global position of the states of the region and to undo inequality within the region. Notwithstanding these failures, the social and spatial dynamics generated by the doctrine of development are essential to explain some ...
Climate change in cities: impact of the urban heat island on microclimate, biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in urban forests. Ghent University
Below forest canopies, the microclimate is buffered from extreme temperatures. This affects
ecosystem functioning and protects plants and animals from climate change. The urban heat island
effect heats the city compared to rural areas. How this urban warming affects microclimate,
biodiversity and ecosystem functioning of urban forests is unknown and will be investigated across
three complementary spatial climate ...
