Zhou, S. (author), Nijhuis, S. (author), Dijkstra, R.J. (author)In the inevitable high-density urbanization process, existing urban green space (UGS) design approaches are ineffective in creating more green areas and combining multidisciplinary design principles to provide balanced sets of ecosystem services (ESs). This paper proposes a systematic framework for UGS design in the context of high-density urban...journal article 2024

Nijhuis, S. (author), Storms-Smeets, Elyze (author), Thissen, Paul (author)The province of Gelderland, in the Netherlands, has many castles, country houses and estates. Together, they form historic estate landscapes that partially determine the regional landscape character. Climate change and urbanisation have a significant effect on the management and protection of these heritage landscapes. An abundance and a...book 2023

Zhang, H. (author), Nijhuis, S. (author), Newton, C.E.L. (author)Existing studies indicate that a direct view of aquatic elements benefits well-being, and houses with blue views are often associated with higher prices. Therefore, developing analysis and design methods for visibility research of blue spaces are crucial to advance spatial design practice. Especially digital methods for analysing blue visibility...journal article 2023

Lu, P. (author), Sun, Yimin (author), Nijhuis, S. (author)Flood resilience has aroused significant interest in coastal areas dealing with a growing frequency of severe rainstorms caused by climate change and urbanisation. At the core of flood resilience is the development of a resilient green-grey-blue infrastructure system that can resist, absorb, and recover from floods in a timely manner. Current...journal article 2023

Nijhuis, S. (author), Sun, Yimin (author), Cannatella, D. (author), Xie, G. (author)Adaptive urban transformations employ landscape-based regional design as an integrative and multiscale design and planning approach for sustainable urban development. In this approach, natural and urban dynamics as derived from systems analysis set the pace and nature of adaptation. This chapter presents an initial strategy for adaptive urban...book chapter 2023

Zheng, Y. (author), Nijhuis, S. (author), Bracken, G. (author)In the heart of the Pearl River Delta, the city of Guangzhou is fast-growing and prone to flooding. In history, people constructed canals based on natural waterways to deal with water problems. The canal system not only served as an important infrastructure but was also as the backbone of urban life. But with the development of the road network...book chapter 2023
