This is the urban century in which, for the first time, the
majority of people live in towns and cities. Understanding how
people influence, and are influenced by, the 'green' component of
these environments is therefore of enormous significance. Providing
an overview of the essentials of urban ecology, the book begins by
covering the vital background concepts of the urbanisation process
and the effect that it can have on ecosystem functions and
services. Later sections are devoted to examining how species
respond to urbanisation, the many facets of human-ecology
interactions, and the issues surrounding urban planning and the
provision of urban green spaces. Drawing on examples from urban
settlements around the world, it highlights the progress to date in
this burgeoning field, as well as the challenges that lie ahead.
