:

As cities undergo vast changes due to industrialization, urbanization, and globalization, environmental considerations assume a growing importance in the urban planning processes of an increasing number of governments around the world. An overview of urban ecosystem structure, function, and change, Eco-Cities: A Planning Guide addresses how to successfully accomplish eco-city planning that meets government requirements. It treats eco-cities and eco-landscapes as integrated, spatially extensive, complex adaptive systems, adding a new dimension to the understanding and application of the concept of urban sustainability. Emphasizing and application of the concept of urban sustainability. Emphasizing a holistic approach, this work lays a solid foundation for engagement between urban planners, researchers, educators, policy makers, and citizens striving to adapt to changing environmental, social, and economic conditions.
