Urban Ecology is a rapidly growing field of academic and practical
significance. Urban ecologists have published several conference
proceedings and regularly contribute to the ecological,
architectural, planning, and geography literature. However,
important papers in the field that set the foundation for the
discipline and illustrate modern approaches from a variety of
perspectives and regions of the world have not been collected in a
single, accessible book. Foundations of Urban Ecology does this by
reprinting important European and American publications, filling
gaps in the published literature with a few, targeted original
works, and translating key works originally published in German.
This edited volume will provide students and professionals with a
rich background in all facets of urban ecology.
The editors emphasize the drivers, patterns, processes and
effects of human settlement. The papers they synthesize provide
readers with a broad understanding of the local and global aspects
of settlement through traditional natural and social science
lenses. This interdisciplinary vision gives the reader a
comprehensive view of the urban ecosystem by introducing drivers,
patterns, processes and effects of human settlements and the
relationships between humans and other animals, plants, ecosystem
processes, and abiotic conditions. The reader learns how human
institutions, health, and preferences influence, and are influenced
by, the others members of their shared urban ecosystem.
