“…Green environment is an important aspect of a functional, sustainable, clean, and healthy city, according to designers and urban planners in the twentyfirst century. As a result, the challenges facing fast-growing cities will be to steer urbanization away from its current, unsustainable path and toward sustainable, greener cities that provide residents with choice, opportunity, and hope (Lee, 2021). As a result, the concept of green city planning becomes a sustainable city planning.…”

“…As a result, the concept of green city planning becomes a sustainable city planning. According to (Lee, 2021) "green cities" are usually connected with urban planning in more developed countries and are intended for resilience, self-reliance, and social, economic, and environmental sustainability.…”

Urban green spaces in cities have been attributed to both an ecologically sustainable environment and the well-being of urban residents, thereby improving their quality of life. The positive effects of urban green spaces on individuals, on the other hand, is usually dependent on the extent of these green spaces and their uses. The level of satisfaction with existing urban parks can be assessed based on parameters such as accessibility, safety, and relevant available facilities. The aim of this study is to examine user’s perception of urban parks in ibeju-lekki, Lagos state. The key objective of the study is to determine the design strategies implemented in the design of an urban park; access users’ perception based on the determined design strategies implemented in the selected urban parks. In this research, users of selected urban parks within ibeju-lekki were surveyed to properly investigate their perception of these urban parks in respect to already established survey criteria. Data was gathered through questionnaires, and users were randomly selected across the selected urban parks. The data gathered was analyzed using SPSS and content analysis, and the analyzed data was presented using tables and charts. From the study, it was found that users’ perception of urban parks usually affects their continual use, this is referring to the urban resident rate of patronage of the urban parks. Therefore, to improve resident rate of usage of urban parks, it is important to improve on the design strategies adopted in urban parks.

“…However, these existing studies do not consider the heterogeneous effect of economic development to the EF in the OECD countries according to different distribution of EF. When the factors of interest have distinct affects at various levels of the dependent factor's conditional distribution, the quantile regression model is appropriate [12]. As impacts of the economic growth to EF may vary according to different levels of EF, the paper analyses the relationship between economic growth and EF in OECD nation by applying panel quantile regression model to fill in the literature gap.…”

Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries are always being a concern of policymakers because of their high growth and high greenhouse emissions. The objective of this study is to investigate the heterogeneous effect of economic growth on the ecological footprint (EF) in OECD countries, spanning from the year 1995 to 2017. Based on a sample of 36 countries from OECD countries by using distributional heterogeneity in panel quantile regression framework, the result shows there is a non-linear relationship between economic growth and EF across different EF levels. Furthermore, an inverted U-shape exists in the relationship between economic growth and EF which supports the theory of Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC). These results indicate that the economic growth of these countries increases the environmental pollution initially but reduces it after a certain level of economic growth. The novelty of this study shows that the effects of economic growth on ecological footprint can differ across countries along the line of their ecological footprint level.

“…On the impacts of urbanization on the environment, scholars obtained different conclusions. Some scholars found that urbanization increased greenhouse gas emissions and deteriorated the environmental quality in BRI countries (Lee et al, 2021;Wu et al, 2021). However, some scholars thought urbanization improved the environmental quality in BRI countries (Saud et al, 2019b).…”

China’s Belt and Road Initiative is a significant regional economic cooperation. This paper uses the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) as a quasi-natural experiment to investigate the impact of regional economic cooperation on environmental quality. Using difference-in-differences (DID) and a series of robustness checks, we find that regional economic cooperation like BRI deteriorates environmental quality in countries along the Belt and Road. The main reason is that the improving effects on environmental quality in the BRI countries are smaller than in the non-BRI countries after the BRI. The ecological impacts of the BRI exist differences in different countries. The results show that the BRI improves environmental quality in South Asia, and Europe and Central Asia. However, the BRI negatively affects environmental quality in East Asia and Pacific, developing and non-OECD countries. We found that, unlike the BRI, the Green BRI improves environmental quality in countries along the Belt and Road. We also discuss the mechanism of the BRI on environmental quality from foreign direct investment (FDI).
