Towards Inclusive Nature-Based Solution Governance Sense of Insecurity When Those Parks Are Located in High Crime Zones (Anguelovski, 2014)
Cities 107 (2020) 102892 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Cities journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/cities Whose city? Whose nature? Towards inclusive nature-based solution T governance ⁎ Laura Tozera, , Kathrin Hörschelmannb, Isabelle Anguelovskic, Harriet Bulkeleya, Yuliana Lazovab a Durham University, UK b Leibniz Institute for Regional Geography Leipzig (IfL), Germany c Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Spain ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: Nature-based solutions have recently been embraced as one route towards simultaneously addressing urban Nature environmental and social problems, but an emerging agenda has sought to ask whether and how the ‘greening’ of Urban cities may actually reinforce inequalities or lead to new forms of social exclusion. Using comparative case-study Governance analysis, this paper examines the extent to which nature-driven stewardship initiatives recognize and redress Stewardship inequalities. We compare two urban contexts that have undergone significant societal transformations over the Inequality last two to three decades: Sofia and Cape Town. The comparison shows how nature-driven stewardship in- Inclusive Cities in transition itiatives differentially address deeper roots of environmental, social and racial privilege shaped significantly by post-socialist and post-apartheid transition contexts. Instead of assuming a homogenous ideal of urban nature and focusing on questions of the distribution of urban nature and its access, this paper finds it is important to consider the kinds of social relations that are required to both shape decision-making processes and generate meaningful and diverse values and ways of relating to nature in the city. Furthermore, it finds that inclusive nature-based solution governance recognizes and redresses both inequalities in access and inequalities that perpetuate dominant views about what nature is and for whom nature is produced and maintained. -

Geodiver- sitas 28 (3) : 477-498. ABSTRACT Th e stratigraphy of the Neogene deposits along the Middle Struma River (SW Bulgaria) is revised. Five genetic lithocomplexes are recognized, replacing the numerous lithostratigraphic formations currently used. Th e basic concept is that the upper Miocene alluvial-proluvial deposits along the Middle Struma River Valley are a product of “braided rivers” transporting important volumes of loose rocks, characterized by rapid and irregular accumulation. Th is accumu- lation occurred in conditions of increasing aridifi cation. Uprising of the Rila and Pirin Mountains occurred later. Unlike northern Greece, where Vallesian landscapes were relatively open, humid habitats and forest vegetation seem to be well represented in the late Vallesian of the middle Struma region, but her- baceous and shrub communities already had a signifi cant role. Th e Mesta River might have fl owed into the Middle Struma, south of today’s Petrich tectonic basin. -
