With land planning, socioeconomics and natural systems as
foundations, this book combines urban planning and ecological
science in examining urban regions. Writing for graduate students,
academic researchers, planners, conservationists and policy makers,
and with the use of informative urban-region color maps, Richard
Forman analyzes 38 urban regions from 32 nations, including London,
Chicago, Ottawa, Brasilia, Cairo, Seoul, Bangkok, Canberra, and a
major case study of the Greater Barcelona region. Alternative
patterns of urbanization spread (including sprawl) are evaluated
from the perspective of nature and people, stating land-use
principles extracted from landscape ecology, transportation and
hydrology. Good, bad and interesting spatial patterns for creating
sustainable land mosaics are pinpointed, and urban regions are
considered in broader contexts, from climate change to biodiversity
loss, disasters and sense of place.
