Abstract

This article argues for the importance of integrating a mobility perspective into urban greenspace planning and practice related to the 2024 EU Nature Restoration Law. Street greenery can play an important multifunctional role in promoting ecosystem services and functions, sustainable mobility, and human health and well-being. However, planners need more evidence on how street vegetation affects health and well-being during everyday active mobility, as well as what type, where and for whom to enhance vegetation. We discuss current advancements and gaps in literature related to these topics, and identify key research priorities to support restoration policy and practice. These include: moving beyond dominant scientific thinking of being in place to moving through space in understanding greenery exposure and experience; use of multiple exposure metrics with attention to temporal dynamics; integration of objective and subjective assessments; and investigating further the role of street greenery in reducing environmental injustices.

恢复自然，增强主动机动性：街道绿化在欧盟2024年恢复法中的作用。

本文论述了将交通视角纳入城市绿地规划和实践的重要性，并与2024年欧盟自然恢复法相关。街道绿化在促进生态系统服务和功能、可持续交通以及人类健康和福祉方面发挥着重要的多功能作用。然而，规划者需要更多的证据来证明街道植被如何影响日常活动中人们的健康和福祉，以及在什么类型、在哪里、为谁加强植被。我们讨论了与这些主题相关的文献的当前进展和差距，并确定了支持恢复政策和实践的关键研究重点。这包括：超越在原地的主流科学思维，通过空间移动来理解绿化暴露和体验；注意时间动态的多重曝光指标的使用；客观评价与主观评价相结合；并进一步调查街道绿化在减少环境不公正方面的作用。
