It draws from research resilience thinking and space syntax the analysis of relationships between processes form at microlevel cities, where social services are directly experienced by dwellers.

New Urbanism is an increasingly “hot topic” in heavily congested regions, such as Los Angeles, where the wider, often meandering, tree-lined walkways N...

Human consumption patterns exceed planetary boundaries and stress on the biosphere can be expected to worsen. The recent “Paris Agreement” (COP21) represents a major international attempt to address risk associated with climate change through rapid decarbonisation. The mechanisms for implementation are yet to be determined and, while various large-scale geoengineering projects have been propose...

The archaeology of pre-Columbian polities in the Amazon River basin forces a reconsideration of early urbanism and long-term change in tropical forest landscapes. We describe settlement and land-use patterns of complex societies on the eve of European contact (after 1492) in the Upper Xingu region of the Brazilian Amazon. These societies were organized in articulated clusters, representing smal...
