Ecological rehabilitation of urban soils is thus critical for sustainable and climate-adapted cities. However, the economic dimensions of urban soil rehabilitation, particularly its costs, remain unexplored. Here we estimate that, in France, median urban soil rehabilitation costs range from €50 m−2 to €310 m−2 for compacted, sealed or built-up soils, escalating to over €800 m−2 for polluted soils. Urban soil rehabilitation involves a sequence of up to ten steps, combining several techniques, with substantial cost variation. Preliminary analyses—pre-intervention diagnostics to guide technical choices—are the least expensive step, while building deconstruction and pollution remediation are the most costly. These cost estimates will facilitate the prioritization of rehabilitation areas and the development of economic incentives for ecological rehabilitation in cities. These findings also highlight the need for healthy soil preservation, alongside rehabilitation efforts. Urban soil rehabilitation is vital for sustainable cities, but its economic dimensions remain unexplored. This study estimates that the median costs in France range from €50 m−2 to over €800 m−2, highlighting the need for healthy soil preservation.","PeriodicalId":501700,"journal":{"name":"Nature Cities","volume":"3 7","pages":"608-617"},"PeriodicalIF":15.3,"publicationDate":"2026-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148467734","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet many urban scholars have long argued the opposite: that municipal politics in cities are characterized by largely non-ideological coalitions of residents and local interests. In this Article, we bridge these perspectives by exploring the relationship between ideology and geographic proximity. We hypothesize that ideology structures individual attitudes about municipal policy issues, but that its influence weakens when residents think about issues in the geographically proximate context of their own neighborhoods. We test these hypotheses using a topic sampling experiment that covers 40 municipal policy issues and incorporates more than 40,000 policy preferences from 4,000 distinct survey respondents in Canada. We find clear evidence of ideological disagreement, which is significantly dampened when respondents consider those same issues at the neighborhood scale. Our results shed light on how the ‘localness’ of political settings shapes policy attitudes in urban contexts and advance our understanding of the sources of policy disagreement in urban politics. Ideology clearly affects politics and policy, but how about in one’s own backyard? Considering 40 municipal policy issues in Canada, this study finds that all politics are not local and that ideological disagreements dampen at neighborhood scales.","PeriodicalId":501700,"journal":{"name":"Nature Cities","volume":"3 6","pages":"514-522"},"PeriodicalIF":15.3,"publicationDate":"2026-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148282732","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In these emerging markets and developing economies, it remains unclear whether residents will demand mitigation, perceive it as a threat or view poor air quality as a necessary part of development. Competing theories predict either strong or weak support and cross-national evidence is scarce, particularly for measures of policy support. Here we surveyed 11,417 adults in 4 severely polluted cities—Accra, Delhi, Jakarta and Johannesburg. Air quality was a highly prioritized issue and overall levels of concern are very high. Majorities support six mitigation proposals, including cost-salient measures such as stricter industrial limits, increasing household electrification and expanding public transport. Concern, trust and low perceived behavioral control were the strongest correlates of support. People see air pollution, feel its effects and want governments to act, even when action entails economic costs, challenging views of limited environmental demand in highly exposed, economically developing settings. In emerging markets and developing economies, how prevalent is public support for environmental protections? To test public demand, the authors surveyed 11,417 adults in 4 large cities in Africa and Asia—Accra, Delhi, Jakarta and Johannesburg—and found that clean air is a top priority, even if it entails economic costs.","PeriodicalId":501700,"journal":{"name":"Nature Cities","volume":"3 6","pages":"500-513"},"PeriodicalIF":15.3,"publicationDate":"2026-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148282731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
