The manifold social, cultural and health benefits of urban community gardens have received much attention in the literature on urban ecosystem services and nature-based solutions off late. Despite recognition of these benefits by many city governments, critical scholarship in urban political ecology has, however, also shown that urban community gar...
Cities have been studied as places which follow a one-directional development, either growing or shrinking. This understanding is reflected both in urban planning as well as in urban metabolism studies. However, are there not conditions in-between? This paper aims to explore seasonal urban changes resulting from the interplay between ecological and...

Several Energy transition plans are being developed in Europe which look for generate energy from decarbonized sources. From them, the necessity of a European common plan has been even considered for the benefit of the countries leading power sources shift, such as Germany. Desertec was an attempt at a common endeavour; through it we can identify s...

Urban areas subjected to temporary changes in their dynamics, which will return to their previous state after a period of time, were defined as seasonal cities. The aim is to study the short, chaotic cycles experienced by specific cities, as a result of the interplay between their geogenic and anthropogenic components, which, so far, remain unexplored. Urban metabolism is used as a methodology for following up the periodical changes; moreover, socio-economical dynamics, which are barely discussed in metabolic urbanization approaches, will be incorporated in the discussion due to their importance as driving force of the seasonal change.
