Langue : Anglais

Coordonnateur : Ito Keitaro

Couverture de l’ouvrage Urban Biodiversity and Ecological Design for Sustainable Cities

This book highlights various designs for urban green spaces and their functions. It provides an interesting meeting point between Asian, European and North America specialists (researchers, planners, landscape architects) studying urban biodiversity; urban biodiversity and green space; relations between people and biodiversity. The most important feature of this book is the unique point of view from each contributor towards ?the relationship between nature and people in urban areas?, in the context of the ecosystem and biodiversity in urban areas and how to manage them.

All chapters explore and consider the relationship between humans and nature in cities, a subject which is taking on increasing importance as new cities are conceptualized and planned. These discussion and examples would be useful for urban ecology researchers, biologists, city planners, government staff working in city planning, architects, landscape architects, and university instructors. This book can also be used as a textbook for undergraduate and postgraduate city planning, architecture or landscape architecture courses.
