  Tree ecosystem eervices, for everyone? A compositional analysis approach to assess the distribution of urban trees as an indicator of environmental justice 

  Cruz Sandoval, Marco Antonio; Ortego Martínez, María Isabel; Roca Bosch, Elisabet (2020-02-07)
  Article
  Open Access

  Trees provide a broad amount of ecosystem services in urban areas. Although it is well documented that trees are essential for the well-being and livability of cities, trees are often not evenly distributed. Studies have ...

  Minimizing the social impact of construction work on mobility: a decision-making method 

  Casanovas Rubio, Maria del Mar; Ramos Schneider, Gonzalo; Armengou, Jaume (2020-02)
  Article
  Open Access

  Minimising the impacts of construction work on mobility, especially in urban areas, is a major issue for local authorities and construction planners that has not been sufficiently studied. This paper proposes a deterministic ...
