Features: The construction and development of cities in China and abroad share commonalities as well as unique characteristics and differences in urban form, land use, environmental protection, and urban ecological construction. Comparing and analyzing these commonalities, characteristics, and differences is of great significance for China's urban ecological planning, design, and construction management in the new century. Based on a systematic summary and analysis of the theory and practice of urban ecological construction in China and abroad, this book integrates the author's recent research achievements from the National Natural Science Foundation of China Key Project (NO. 3930040, "Regional Ecological Service Functions and Regulation Mechanisms of Urban Development in Shanghai-Jiading-Hangzhou"), the Ministry of Education 211 Project "Biodiversity and Regional Ecological Security," and multiple research series on "Urban Ecology and Environment" in various provinces and cities. It attempts to establish a foundational theoretical framework and technical approach for urban ecological construction research, exploring practical experiences worth referencing. The book covers topics such as influencing factors of urban ecological construction in China and abroad, planning and construction of eco-cities and eco-districts, forest and green space ecological construction, nature conservation, aquatic ecological construction, environmental protection engineering construction, and the development of sustainable development indicator systems. The content is systematic, the perspectives are innovative, and the data and information are rich and detailed, reflecting the latest trends and research findings in urban ecological construction in China and abroad. It can serve as a scientific basis and reference for China's emerging urban ecological construction efforts. The book is also suitable for researchers in environmental protection, urban ecology, landscape architecture, urban forestry, water resources management, urban planning and construction, as well as students and faculty of relevant universities and colleges for study and reference.
