Book Description
El libro presenta una visión integral del manejo del medio urbano y la importancia de los aspectos ambientales, que involucra los impactos potenciales, factores de riesgo, condiciones de saneamiento, zonas verdes y la percepción de las poblaciones establecidas en áreas urbanas que son objeto de estudio. Constituye una herramienta para evaluación de la Calidad Ambiental de los sectores urbanos, facilita el conocimiento de las interdependencias, interacciones y atributos de organización de todos los componentes para conformar una situación ambiental definida en tiempo y espacio para cualquier zona de dichos ecosistemas, representando el objeto fundamental del pensamiento ecológico urbano. Se plantea una estrategia metodológica que involucra diferentes componentes de la Ecología Urbana y se incluyen experiencias sobre evaluación de la Calidad Ambiental las cuales se validan a través de ejemplos en dos barrios de la comuna 19 de la ciudad de Cali.

Book Description
La ecología como ?el estudio de la interacciones entre los organismos y el entorno? se basa en el principio de la interacción. En sus mapas de regiones urbanas, Richard T. T. Forman investiga la interacción entre las ciudades y sus periferias. Examina 38 regiones urbanas de al menos 1.000 km2 y demuestra que la ecología no puede entenderse por las fronteras físicas: las ciudades interactúan con sus regiones y van más allá. Chris Reed entiende la ecología como la ?idea (y fuerza) más informadora sobre cómo se construyen las ciudades, cómo evolucionan, cómo cobran forma y cómo se reconfiguran a través del tiempo?. Pierre Bélanger sugiere que la infraestructura proporciona la estructura conectiva para regiones y ciudades a lo largo del tiempo: la infraestructura estipula el marco donde sucede la interacción. El diagrama en sección de Nueva York de Christoph Niemann representa las interacciones generadas por las múltiples infraestructuras de la ciudad, mientras que el trabajo colectivo de los artistas de Rebar, de San Francisco, opera bajo la categoría de un llamado ?urbanismo generado por los usuarios?, descrito como el ?urbanismo táctico de quienes son capaces de ingeniar usos temporales y provisionales, y para ello buscan nichos y lagunas en el tejido socioespacial?. La obra de Rebar hace hincapié en el papel de las interacciones como componentes clave de un urbanismo ecológico.

Book Description
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.

Book Description
Urban Ecology: An Introduction seeks to open the reader’s mind and eyes to the way in which nature permeates everyday urban living, and how it has to be understood, cared for, and managed in order to make our towns and cities healthier places to visit and in which to live and work. The authors examine how nature can improve our physical and mental health, the air we breathe and the waters we use, as well as boosting our enjoyment of parks and gardens. Urban Ecology sets out the science that underlies the changing natural scene and the tools used to ensure that cities become both capable of adapting to climate change and more beautiful and resilient. The book begins with a discussion of the nature of urban places and the role of nature in towns and cities. Part 1 looks at the context and content of urban ecology, its relationship to other foci of interest within ecology and other environmental sciences, and the character of city landscapes and ecosystems. In Part 2 the authors set out the physical and chemical components of urban ecosystems and ecological processes, including urban weather and climate, urban geomorphology and soils, urban hydrology and urban biogeochemical cycles. In Part 3 urban habitats, urban flora and fauna, and the effects of, deliberate and inadvertent human action on urban biota are examined. Part 4 contains an exploration of the identification and assessment of ecosystem services in urban areas, emphasising economic evaluation, the importance of urban nature for human health and well-being, and restoration ecology and creative conservation. Finally, in Part 5 the tasks for urban ecologists in optimising and sustaining urban ecosystems, providing for nature in cities, adapting to climate change and in developing the urban future in a more sustainable manner are set out. Within the 16 chapters of the book – in which examples from around the world are drawn upon - the authors explore current practice and future alternatives, set out procedures for ecological assessment and evaluation, suggest student activities and discussion topics, provide recommended reading and an extensive bibliography. The book contains more than 150 tables and over 150 photographs and diagrams.

Book Description
This title was first published in 2003. Seven years after Habitat II culminated with the Istanbul agreement on Sustainable Urban Development, this book brings together many of the world's leading experts from the fields of architecture, urban planning, economics, sociology, politics, environment and geography to assess the successes and failures in fulfilling the objectives decided upon at this historic meeting. Illustrated with a wide range of case studies, this volume is divided into three main sections; firstly examining the challenges, secondly, the approaches, and finally, the practices. The book represents a critical appraisal not only of the issues related to urban development but also of the modalities to face these issues from real examples, these in return can be used as starting points to construct new 'real utopias' or at least, to future 'best practices'.
