Brief Statement of Research Interest
My research interest is aimed to highlight the role of urban parks in provision of ecosystem services to the citizens in relevant to achieve the sustainable development goals of UN. As a geographer, I tried to shed light on the benefits and importance of green spaces/parks in mitigating the local climate change impacts and making the cities resilient to various environmental challenges.
