The second edition of this comprehensive book has been thoroughly revised to reflect the significant advancements in urban ecology research, action, and teaching since 2015. Urban ecology offers a profound understanding of urban ecosystems and employs nature-based techniques to enhance habitats and alleviate poor environmental conditions.
Already accommodating the majority of the world's population, urban areas continue to expand, exerting ecological changes on a global scale. Recognizing the urgent need to equip students from diverse professions with the knowledge and skills to care for urban areas and the diverse inhabitants—including humans, animals, and plants—the authors have compiled a comprehensive guide to the environmental and ecological science of cities. This text explores the intricate connections between urban nature and human health, urban food production, and the valuation of urban nature.
The authors delve into our responsibilities for urban nature and greening, ecological management techniques, and the utilization of nature-based solutions to achieve a better, more sustainable urban future. They emphasize the importance of addressing climate change and transforming cities into beautiful and sustainable places to live.
This text serves as a vital resource for students and practitioners seeking a critical scientific overview of urban ecology. It provides a wealth of data and ideas that will be invaluable for conducting studies and implementing effective urban management practices. By embracing the principles of urban ecology, we can strive to create healthier, more resilient, and environmentally sustainable cities for future generations.
