“…Locally available park green space means per capita area of PGS (m 2 /person) within a certain range of residents' living, which reflects the availability and accessibility of PGS at a local scale [39,40]. It is an important indicator of PGS provision [41].…”

Park green space (PGS) is an important part of urban ecosystem and green infrastructure, and the ease of access to PGS is closely related to the health of residents. A growing number of studies have attempted to identify accessibility disparities, but results have varied because of the travel mode choice and the measurement method. This study proposes a dynamic Huff two-step floating catchment area (H2SFCA) method based on map service API (Application Programming Interface) to assess the accessibility of PGS, with the Gini coefficient and bivariate local Moran’s I used to analyze accessibility equity. Results show that: (1) driving and biking modes have more significant spatiotemporal compression effects than dynamic modes, public transit, and walking mode. (2) The accessibility values and spatial patterns vary significantly by travel mode. The PGS availability pattern at the local level is more uneven than the distribution of accessibility at the regional level. In comparison with dynamic travel modes, the accessibility values for the single travel mode are more likely to be overestimated or underestimated. (3) The PGS accessibility by the dynamic modes generally has better spatial equity and residents can select suitable travel tools to acquire more equitable park services. In addition, there is a significant accessibility difference between dynamic driving-based mode and dynamic transit-based mode in four subdistricts, which are mainly located in the south of Tianhe District. The public transport facilities linking parks in these areas need to be optimized. This study further improves the accessibility evaluation method, with the findings conducive to the implementation of refined PGS planning and management.

“…At the local level, walking is the most common mode of transportation, but its travel efficiency is lower than other travel modes. Those places with better PGS availability are located around large parks and have a small population [39,40]. Biking is faster than walking.…”

“…Moreover, there is not only a lack of research on the climate governance of mid-sized cities but also on post-socialist cities (Ferenčuhová 2020). Existing studies on post-socialist cities have rather focused on somewhat related topics such as green spaces (Badiu et al 2019;Csomós et al 2021), sustainability (Svirčić Gotovac and Kerbler 2019), or smart cities (Sikora-Fernandez 2018;Varró and Szalai 2021). Moreover, there is also a lack of studies on the regions (Länder) of the former German Democratic Republic (GDR).…”

We illustrate how the two mid-sized post-socialist eastern German cities Potsdam and Rostock have managed to become climate pioneers, despite being located in regions that have been reluctant with regard to climate action. Drawing on municipal documentation and fieldwork interviews, we show how favorable and interrelated conditions concerning a city's socio-demographic, socio-economic, and particularly political situation were more important for progressive climate action than both cities' embeddedness in their respective regions. We also show how the absence of external ambitions and mayoral support hindered Potsdam and Rostock from making the leap from a pioneer to a leader.
