Center for Urban Ecology

"Ecology for the City"

For our purposes, urban ecology comprises both the traditional ecological understanding of the interactions between and among organisms and their urban environment as well as a systems ecology perspective where the city itself is viewed as an ecosystem. These definitions refer to the ecology "in" and the ecology "of " cities, respectively. We recognize the importance and complexity that humans bring to the system. This recognition leads us to be highly interdisciplinary in the way we approach the subject of urban ecology.
