Towns and villages are sometimes viewed as minor, even quaint,
spots, whereas this book boldly reconceptualizes these places as
important dynamic environmental 'hotspots'. Multitudes of towns and
villages with nearly half the world's population characterize
perhaps half the global land surface. The book's pages feature
ecological patterns, processes, and change, as well as human
dimensions, both within towns and in strong connections and effects
on surrounding agricultural land, forest land, and arid land.
Towns, small to large, and villages are examined with spatial and
cultural lenses. Ecological dimensions - water, soil and air
systems, together with habitats, plants, wildlife and biodiversity
- are highlighted. A concluding section presents concepts for
making better towns and better land. From a pioneer in both
landscape ecology and urban ecology, this highly international town
ecology book opens an important frontier for researchers, students,
professors, and professionals including environmental, town, and
conservation planners.
