Urban Ecology: Emerging Patterns and Social-Ecological Systems 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 six major themes of the book: emerging urban concepts and urbanization, land use land cover change, urban social ecological systems, urban environment, urban economics and sustainable cities. Within each section, key concepts such as monitoring the urbanization phenomena, land use cover, urbanization affecting rural ecology, urban soil fluxes, urban sprawl, and human health, and sustainable cities are covered. Urban Ecology serves as a comprehensive and advanced book for students, researchers, practitioners and policy makers in urban ecology and urban environmental research, planning, and practice.

Covers the phenomena of ex-situ resource mobilization for urban growth due to trade and globalization
