Making the most of peri-urban ecosystem services
Summarises evidence on how to harness peri-urban ecosystem services to create more resilient and sustainable cities
Abstract
Ecosystem services are vital for peri-urban and urbanising areas, and the people who live within them. In contexts of rapid urbanisation, these services are under threat from redevelopment, pollution and overconsumption, and there are gaps in the policies and structures that should protect them. Despite these challenges, there are opportunities for local authorities and citizens to work together and join up policy with action on the ground.
