1.1.1 Ecology In the City
• Impervious cover, roads, buildings, human population density, economic
activities
• Studies familiar habitat types (forests, parks, etc.) embedded within
urban areas.
1.1.2 Ecology Of the City
• Characterization of patches and habitats that are not dominated by non-
human organism. how the social and socially determined human
processes affect and suffuse even the analog patches ecologists had
traditionally been studying.
• Focused on isolated patches of nature within cities, neglecting the
broader social and human influences.
1.1.3 Ecology For the City
• Concerns with human well-being, urban liveability, biological richness of
the city
• Builds upon "ecology in the city" and "ecology of the city" approaches,
by linking ecological science with city planning and decision-making.
