Provides an overview of international developments in urban
ecology, with many examples from cities worldwide. In addition,
this book presents a unique exchange of experiences and ideas, with
a focus on cooperation between researchers and those involved in
putting ideas into practice.
Topics include: aims and standards for ecological cities; the
integration of ecologial, economic, social and cultural aspects;
land use as a controlling factor; ecologically responsible
mobility; and the integration of nature and landscape into urban
development.
This textbook on the Green City examines urban nature as an ideal,
provider of services and conceptual urban design approach. It
answers important contemporary questions that arise about the
ecological and cultural interactions, development and structure,
and ecological performance of urban nature worldwide. The book
explains what urban nature is, how it came to be, and how it
evolved in the context of the natural and cultural conditions of
its sites. It also describes what constitutes urban biodiversity
and the role of differentiated urban nature in the Green City
concept. Theories of urban development and ecology are linked to
practical applications of urban planning and illustrated with many
case studies and examples. The great potentials of urban nature are
shown in detail. In order to cope with or mitigate problems in the
city, a targeted urban nature management adapted to the specific
conditions of the different types of urban nature is needed, which
includes nature conservation as well as nature design, always
keeping in mind the relation to the urban dwellers. The textbook is
especially addressed to students and teachers of urban planning,
ecology, geography, social sciences as well as practitioners of
urban design and nature conservation. This book is a translation of
the original German 1st edition Die Grune Stadt by Jurgen Breuste,
published by Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature
in 2019. The translation was done with the help of artificial
intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A
subsequent human revision was done by the author primarily in terms
of content and scientific terms, so that the book will read
stylistically differently from a conventional translation but
without loss of messages. Springer Nature works continuously to
further the development of tools for the production of books and on
the related technologies to support the authors.
This textbook on urban ecosystems answers important questions about
the ecological structure, functions and socio-ecological
development of cities worldwide. Based on how cities are developing
today in an increasingly urbanized world, it explains ecological
challenges for cities of the 21st century such as resource
efficiency, climate change, moderation of quality of life and
resilience. The book combines theories of urban development and
ecology with practical applications and case studies, thus
identifying potential for improvement and examples of good
ecological urban development worldwide. It shows that cities are by
far not only problem areas but also offer great potential for a
good life and that the various urban ecosystems can make a
considerable contribution to this. The "eco-city" is thus not a
utopia,but a real goal that can be pursued step by step in a
targeted manner, taking into account the local and regional
context. Four renowned urban ecologists have contributed their
specific experience in sub-areas without losing sight of the big
picture. Jurgen Breuste is an urban ecologist and works at the
Paris Lodron University in Salzburg, Austria, on the topics of
sustainable urban development, urban biodiversity, ecosystem
services and eco-cities. Dagmar Haase is Landschaftsoekologin and
works at the Humboldt University of Berlin on urban ecosystem
services and land use modeling. Stephan Pauleit is a landscape
planner and works at the Technical University of Munich on
strategies for the sustainable development of urban landscapes.
Martin Sauerwein is a geographer and works at the University of
Hildesheim on geo-ecology in cultural landscapes, geoarchaeology
and soil protection. The textbook addresses a broad audience of
students, teachersand also to practitioners in the fields of
ecology, urban ecology, urban development, sustainability, urban
geography, nature and landscape conservation, spatial planning,
landscape ecology, social sciences and urban studies. The numerous
photos and graphics, many of them in four colors, as well as clear
tables illustrate the facts. Case studies, examples and
explanations allow a deeper insight. Questions at the end of each
chapter allow the progress of knowledge to be checked, and a
comprehensive bibliography for each chapter provides further
studies.This book is a translation of the original German 1st

Ein stadtisches Leben ohne Wildnis ist denkbar, aber nicht
erstrebenswert! Stadtwildnis wagen! Das bedeutet ungeplanter Natur
im stadtischen Leben einen Platz bieten. Die meisten Stadtbewohner
wissen heute gar nicht mehr, was Wildnis eigentlich ist, sind aber
gleichzeitig von Wildtieren und -pflanzen fasziniert. Wir haben ein
tief verwurzeltes Bedurfnis, etwas uber das uns umgebende Leben,
die Arten und Artenvielfalt zu erfahren, um zu verstehen, wie wir
dies auch in die Stadte holen koennen. Trotzdem haben wir keine
konkrete Vorstellung wie wilde Stadtnatur integriert in eine grune
Infrastruktur aussehen kann. Dieses Lehrbuch zur wilden Stadt
untersucht Stadtwildnis, ihre Erscheinungsformen, ihre Wahrnehmung
durch Stadtbewohner und Naturschutzer und begreift Wildnis als
Chance und Herausforderung. Dabei stellt es Biodiversitat und
Naturerlebnis in den Mittelpunkt. Es beantwortet wichtige aktuelle
Fragen zu den oekologischen und soziokulturellen Grundlagen von
Stadtwildnis, zu ihrer Struktur, zum oekologischen
Leistungsvermoegen, zum Verhalten gegenuber Wildnis und zum Schutz
von wilder Natur in der Stadt. Das Buch erklart, was Stadtwildnis
ist, warum sie Lebensraum von wilden Pflanzen und Tieren ist, wie
die Bewohner der Stadt mit ihr zusammenleben koennen und warum
Wildnis ein wertvoller Bestandteil einer blauen und grunen urbanen
Infrastruktur sein kann. Theorien und Erkenntnisse der
Stadtentwicklung und OEkologie werden mit praktischen Anwendungen
in der Stadtplanung zum Thema Stadtwildnis verbunden und mit vielen
Fallstudien und weltweiten Beispielen veranschaulicht. Die grossen
Potenziale von Stadtwildnis werden im Detail aufgezeigt. Um
Stadtwildnis nicht zum Problem werden zu lassen, bedarf es eines
zielgerichteten, an die besonderen Bedingungen wilder Stadtnatur
angepassten Wildnis-Managements, das Naturschutz wie
Naturgestaltung gleichermassen einschliesst und dabei immer den
Bezug zu den Stadtbewohnern im Auge behalt. Ein Lehrbuch, das
besonders Studierende und Lehrende der Facher Stadt- und
Raumplanung, OEkologie, Biologie, Landschaftsarchitektur,
Landschaftspflege, Geographie und Sozialwissenschaften anspricht
und daruber hinaus auch facherubergreifende Studiengange wie Smart
Cities und Naturmanagement sowie Praktiker der Stadtgestaltung und
-entwicklung und des Naturschutzes bedient.
