商品描述

This book explores the vital role of urban green spaces in mitigating environmental challenges, enhancing urban sustainability, and improving the quality of life in densely populated cities. Based on extensive doctoral research, this book provides a comprehensive assessment of how urban greenery impacts air quality, temperature regulation, biodiversity conservation, and public health. By focusing on Kolkata, a rapidly urbanizing metropolis, the book offers insights that are applicable to other urban centers facing similar challenges worldwide.

This work is distinctive because it integrates geospatial analysis, environmental science, and urban planning to present an in-depth evaluation of green spaces. It employs cutting-edge methodologies such as satellite imagery, land use/land cover change detection, and spatial modeling to assess the transformation of urban green spaces over time. The findings provide essential data-driven recommendations for urban policymakers, environmentalists, and planners striving for sustainable city development.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書探討城市綠地在緩解環境挑戰、提升城市可持續性以及改善人口稠密城市生活品質方面的重要角色。基於廣泛的博士研究,本書提供了城市綠化如何影響空氣品質、溫度調節、生物多樣性保護和公共健康的全面評估。通過聚焦於快速城市化的大都市加爾各答,本書提供了適用於面臨類似挑戰的其他城市中心的見解。

本書的獨特之處在於它整合了地理空間分析、環境科學和城市規劃,以深入評估綠地。它採用了尖端的方法論,如衛星影像、土地使用/覆蓋變化檢測和空間建模,以評估城市綠地隨時間的變化。研究結果為城市政策制定者、環保人士和規劃者提供了基於數據的關鍵建議,幫助他們追求可持續的城市發展。
