Front Cover -- Urban Ecology -- URBAN ECOLOGY: EMERGING PATTERNS AND SOCIAL-ECOLOGICAL SYSTEMS -- Copyright -- Contents -- Contributors -- Foreword -- References -- List of reviewers -- I -- Emerging facets of urban ecology eurban and urbanization, theory and concepts -- 1 -- Urban ecology -- current state of research and concepts -- 1. Introduction -- 1.1 What is urban ecology? -- 1.2 Social-ecological systems and urban metabolism -- 2. State of research in urban ecology -- 2.1 Global trends in the past twodecades (1999-2019)

Urban Ecology covers the latest theoretical and applied concepts in urban ecological research. This book covers the key environmental issues of urban ecosystems as well as the human-centric issues, particularly those of governance, economics, sociology and human health. The goal of Urban Ecology is to challenge readers' thinking around urban ecology from a resource-based approach to a holistic and applied field for sustainable development. There are seven major themesof the book: emerging urban concepts and urbanization, land use/land cover change, urban social-ecological systems, urban environment, urban material balance, smart, healthy and sustainable cities and sustainable urban design. Within each section, key concepts such as monitoring the urbanization phenomena, land use cover, urban soil fluxes, urban metabolism, pollution and human health and sustainable cities are covered. Urban Ecology serves as a comprehensive and advanced book for students, researchers, practitioners and policymakers in urban ecology and urban environmental research, planning and practice. --
