We performed a systematic review of 76 research articles derived from the Scopus database, and the dataset was scrutinized and classified against the four major categories of ecosystem services, namely provisioning, regulating, cultural, and supporting services, as per the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (2005). We attempted to determine the existing state of the interconnectedness of mangrove ecosystem services by mapping the potential synergies and trade-offs. Further, an attempt was made to understand the critical linkages between mangrove ecosystem services and their contribution to the localization/achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The results suggest disproportionate distribution of scientific literature, where nearly 56 of the studies were concentrated in Asia. The r...

As urban communities endeavor to enhance decency in the assembled environment, it is essential for planners and designer to have a succinct comprehension of what adds to the quality of streetscapes. Streets are a vital part of any city's public open space system. They function as movement corridors for pedestrians, cyclists, transit and vehicles, as well as support many social and business activities. The presence and character of the streets play an enormous role in determining the overall quality and liveability of the city. The paper examines the existence of street elements-paving, street trees, medians, lighting and street furniture; when applied over time will enrich the visual image and urban design of the city. It further focusses on the basic elements and principles of streetscape which improves the urban design quality of the public right-of-way, accessibility and pedestrianizati...
