Urban Ecology: Projects, Journals & Ideas

About Discussions Projects98 Journals15

Urban ecology studies the relationships between living systems and the built city, including habitat, water, soil, and vegetation. For designers, it asks how buildings, streets, and infrastructure can support biodiversity and recover land that has been degraded by development. The field draws on landscape architecture, ecology, and urban planning.

Member work under this topic reconsiders vacant lots, landfills, waterfronts, and leftover street space as sites for ecological repair. Projects range from wetland restoration and habitat towers to bus stops and infill libraries that add shared green ground to tight urban plots.
