Youths use, values and benefits on the Urban Blue-Green Infrastructure
Description:
Youth is a group that is often marginalised within formal decision-making processes concerning physical planning and the design of urban open spaces. At the same time, this group is highly relevant to engage in relationship to sustainable development of urban nature and its capability of delivering ecosystem services. In this action research project, we are interested to interpreting and developing existing and potential links between urban blue-green infrastructure, ecosystem services, citizens' values and engagement.
In the project, we will detail how an action research process with urban youth could be used to link the governance of urban blue-green infrastructure more dynamically to the uses, values and needs for ecosystem services for urban youth as well as to broader societal issues such as climate change and well-being. The project is financed through Formas and will be carried out in collaboration with a local municipality in Scania.
Within this project we are looking for a highly motivated PhD student that will carry out action research through a series of workshops with marginalised youths.
