Abstract
This research focusses on exploring the effects, causes and policy challenges linked to soil-sealing in private properties. This research uses a combination of Remote Sensing, Surveys, Statistics and Policy Review to measure the extent of Soil-sealing and its effects on the urban environment. The main findings of this research is that a large part of urban potential green space is located in gardens yet the largest share of this space is soil-sealed, which shifts sewage capacities by around 4 percent in the urban environment. Furthermore, gardens are subject to a large factors of determinants including physical (size), ownership (rent/owned), socio-economic (wealth, time), policy (governance strategies) and other determinants that together impact the extent to which citizens are able and willing to contribute to urban climate-resilience.
