TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the distribution of parks in Baltimore, Maryland, as an environmental justice issue and employ a novel park service area approach that uses Thiessen polygons and dasymetric reapportioning of census data to measure potential park congestion as an equity outcome measure.

TL;DR: It is suggested that a suite of variables, including income, contribute to the distribution of UTC cover, and can help target simultaneous strategies for UTC goals and environmental justice concerns.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the relationship between demographics, housing characteristics, and lifestyle clusters from 1960 and 2000 with areas of high woody and herbaceous vegetation cover in 1999 and found that 1960 demographics and age of housing are better predictors of high tree coverage in 1999 than demographics and housing characteristics from 2000.

TL;DR: The Humane metropolis is a rubric to summarize and promote environmental and social quality in contemporary urban mosaics as discussed by the authors, which can be summarized as one that protects and restores ecological services in cities and suburbs, promotes physical and mental health and safety of residents, enhances efficiency by conserving energy, matter, water, and time, facilitates equity by being inclusive, as well as socially and environmentally just.

TL;DR: The authors examined the density of polluting industry by neighborhoods in Baltimore over the long term, from 1950 to 2010, to determine if high pollution burdens correspond spatially with expected demographic and housing variables predicted in the environmental justice literature.
