Urbanization is a global phenomenon that is increasingly challenging human society. It is therefore crucially important to ensure that the relentless
expansion of cities and towns proceeds sustainably. Urban ecology, the interdisciplinary study of ecological patterns and processes in towns and
cities, is a rapidly developing field that can provide a scientific basis for the informed decision-making and planning needed to create both viable
and sustainable cities.
This volume brings together an international team of leading scientists to discuss the current understanding of all aspects of urban environments, from the biology of the organisms that inhabit them to the diversity of ecosystem services and human social issues encountered within urban landscapes.
