This comprehensive book delves into the concept of urban multiple habitats, exploring its classification, functions, and potential supply capabilities. It provides a robust analysis framework for studying the intricate relationship between urban biodiversity and the built environment, particularly in the context of high-density development. The book argues that urban biodiversity serves as a vital indicator for assessing the overall health and functionality of urban ecosystems.
In order to illustrate the significance of urban biodiversity, the book conducts a case study centered on wild birds in Shanghai. Urban wild birds, due to their adaptability and species diversity, are considered essential indicators of the well-being of contemporary cities. Through empirical findings, the book proposes an assessment model for evaluating the performance of urban biodiversity. Additionally, it offers a set of principles, strategies, and key indicators to guide urban planning and design practices aimed at enhancing urban biodiversity performance.
The book's insights are valuable for policymakers, urban planners, architects, and researchers seeking to promote sustainable urban development and enhance the quality of life in cities. By recognizing the importance of urban multiple habitats and their contribution to urban ecosystem services, the book provides a roadmap for creating more resilient and biodiverse urban environments.
