This edited volume centers around the concept of BioCities, which aim to unify nature and urban spaces in order to reverse the effects of global climate change and inequity. Following this principle, the authors propose multiple approaches for sustainable city growth. The discussed concepts are not only relevant for newly constructed cities, but offer transformative perspectives for existing settlements as well. Placing nature at the forefront of city planning is not an entirely new concept, so the authors build on established ideas like the garden city, green city, eco-city, or smart city. All chapters aim to highlight aspects to develop a city that is a resilient nature-based socio-ecological system. Many of these concepts were formed in an effort to copy the best traits of a forest ecosystem: a home for many different species that build complex communities. Much like many of our forests, urban areas are managed by humans for multifunctional purposes, using living and abiotic components. This viewpoint helps to understand the potential and limitations of sustainable growth. With these chapters, the authors want to inspire planners, ecologists, urban foresters and decision makers of the future.

The aim of this book is to promote the dynamic resilience of societies by identifying, analysing, and exemplifying the role of space and land use in both anticipated and unanticipated primary and secondary crisis situations. The book brings together the expertise of a unique team of researchers and methods from fields of futures studies, land use planning, social sustainability and wellbeing, architecture, spatial planning, design and real estate economics, and presents a novel understanding of the direct and indirect impacts of possible crises in the space and land use context. It goes on to discuss the concept of resilience and exemplifies potential solutions and offers a holistic and forward-looking approach for crisis management through a lens of social sustainability and wellbeing, making an important contribution to the promotion of wellbeing in the built environment, especially in terms of land and residential space and building use. This book does not only identify barriers and successful incentives in resilient crisis management but also discusses the role of different stakeholders (e.g., households, office workers, real estate owners, space occupants, firms, the public sector, etc.) in crisis management. Finally, international case studies aiming to tackle the challenging landscape of future threats are presented, along with novel tools to support the development of future policies, regulations, and management practices in the built environment, which can increase the dynamic resilience of societies. Overall, this book is essential reading for decision-makers in the public and private sectors, urban developers, space and spatial designers, architects, planners, community stakeholders, real estate investors, facility managers and crisis and corporate responsibility managers.

Urban forestry is not a one-size-fits-all solution; each city and region, with its own unique set of challenges and opportunities, requires tailored strategies. In recognition of the diversity and distinctiveness of urban forestry issues and their potential for mitigating environmental and socioeconomic inequality across the globe, FAO has asked experts around the world to share their views on how urban forests and trees are perceived and managed in their respective geographical areas, bringing together a broad range of regional perspectives. The primary goal of this publication is to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of urban forestry worldwide. By showcasing the regional perspectives, insights, experiences and case studies in urban and peri-urban forestry (UPF), we hope to inspire individuals, communities and policymakers to reimagine their relationships with urban green spaces.

The Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC) calls its 9th Advanced Architecture Contest as a global reflection to rethink human settlements at a time when our natural environments and the human habitats are more clearly intertwined. We look to the model of Biocities, cities that follow the principles of ecological principles in order to promote life and biodiversity, to provide us with potential design solutions. How can we reimagine our cities as Biocities, capable of creating an ecologically attuned and reciprocal relationship with nature? This year’s competition challenges students and professionals from all over the world to propose how to design urban spaces, cities, buildings, objects, or solutions of any scale, directed towards the transition to Biocities. The contest encourages participants to propose a design at any scale, anywhere in the world, that reflects different cultural, environmental, economic, or social conditions.

There are enormous and difficult challenges on a global scale, and we are living in a time when these problems are occurring. Sometimes people would refer to them as "wicked problems." As a result of the interconnected nature of these issues and the prevalence of value systems and points of view that are in opposition to one another, it is challenging to describe, comprehend, and find solutions to these complex and systemic challenges. In the present moment, we are confronted with a number of the most severe challenges that may be traced back to human activities that are not sustainable. We refer to this period of time as the "Anthropocene," which is a geological era that has been developed to acknowledge the tremendous influence that human activities are having on the processes and systems of the Earth. This era was established in order to acknowledge the "Anthropocene." Since the Industrial Revolution, which took place in the latter half of the eighteenth century, human activities have had a significant and far-reaching impact on the systems that make up the Earth. The climate of the Earth has been affected as a result of these activities, as has the chemistry of the land and ocean, and the biodiversity of the globe has been diminished via these activities. It is anticipated that the environmental modifications that have been brought about by human activity will have far-reaching repercussions, some of which could be catastrophic, for the entire planet and the people who live on these planets. In spite of this, the challenges are not restricted to problems pertaining to the environment. These difficulties have gotten even more intricate as a result of their connectivity with social, economic, and peace and security concerns

The global bioeconomy landscape is diverse, reflecting various national and regional interpretations and visions. This study has conducted a global review of national and regional bioeconomy strategies, with a focus on sustainability objectives, definitions, priority areas, activities, and governance mechanisms. It highlights FAO's role in advancing a sustainable bioeconomy within the food and agriculture sectors. The study concludes by identifying gaps and opportunities in global bioeconomy development to guide FAO and its Members in shaping the transition to a sustainable global bioeconomy for food and agriculture.The concept of bioeconomy is gaining significant global traction, evolving from its early focus on resource substitution and biotechnological innovation to a more comprehensive and cross-cutting model for sustainable development. This perspective underscores its transformative potential, aiming to reshape the existing economic paradigm into one that is economically, environmentally, and socially sustainable. However, bioeconomy is not inherently sustainable. Realizing its potential requires robust governance that ensures alignment with societal goals. Increased biomass demand, central to bioeconomy development, poses challenges such as resource competition and international trade impacts.Without assessing the economic, environment and social sustainability of the bioeconomy, this transition risks exacerbating global inequalities related to resource access, environmental degradation and land rights.This study was prepared by the Office of Climate Change, Biodiversity and Environment of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), within the framework of its Programme Priority Area bioeconomy for sustainable food and agriculture. The insights gathered aim to guide FAO in shaping the strategic direction of its corporate area of work on bioeconomy, strengthening the role of agrifood systems in driving the transformative potential of the bioeconomy across other sectors.
