    Declining urban tree canopy cover in the United States underscores the importance of elucidating factors that influence the distribution of urban trees. This is particularly relevant as most urban trees are located on private property while their canopies maintain ecosystem services that constitute public goods. Thus, municipalities establish institutions in the form of canopy cover goals and various policies to incentivize private actions to meet those goals.

    Eco-environmental vulnerability assessment is crucial for environmental and resource management. However, evaluation of eco-environmental vulnerability over large areas is a difficult and complex process because it is affected by many variables including hydro-meteorology, topography, land resources, and human activities. The Thua Thien – Hue Province and its largest river system, the Perfume River, are vital to the social-economic development of the north central coastal region of Vietnam, but there is no zoning system for environmental protection in this region.

    India

    This paper examines the policy options
    for India as it seeks to improve living conditions of the
    poor on a large scale and reduce the population in slums.
    Addressing the problem requires first a diagnosis of the
    market at the city level and a recognition that government

    The 2007-2008 upsurge in agricultural
    commodity prices gave rise to widespread concern about
    investors causing a "global land rush". Large land
    deals can provide opportunities for better access to
    capital, transfer of technology, and advances in
    productivity and employment generation. But they carry risks
    of dispossession and loss of livelihoods, corruption,
    deterioration in local food security, environmental damage,

    The availability and quality of basic public services are important determinants of urban quality of life. In many cities, rapid population growth and fiscal constraints are limiting the extent to which urban governments can keep up with increasing demand for these services. It therefore becomes important to prioritize provision of those services to best reflect local demand.

    This has to be accomplished against a
    background of high illiteracy rates, rapidly growing
    populations, low and erratic rainfall, inherently infertile
    soils, and development strategies which have had a strong
    urban bias. Under such conditions, traditional production
    systems are unable to sustain the population. Without
    significant change, land degradation will accelerate and the
    natural resource base on which agricultural production
