Features: Cities are the sources of human material civilization and the sinks of ecological environmental destruction. Urban problems include the blockage and depletion of resource metabolism at temporal and spatial scales in densely populated urban and human activity areas, the misalignment and disharmony of coupling in structural and functional relationships, and the conflict and disorder of social behavior in economic and environmental interests. Their scientific essence is the ecological problem of the relationship between humans and nature. This book is divided into two parts, with a total of ten chapters. The upper part, Theory and Methods, includes principles of urban complex ecosystems, ecological planning methods, ecological engineering technologies, and ecological management approaches. The middle part, Ecological Effects and Ecological Risks of Urbanization Processes, introduces the identification of ecological stress effects of urbanization processes on physical environments, physiological diversity, human health, and microorganisms, as well as methods for evaluating ecological risks to human health and system development. The lower part, Research on Sustainable Urban Ecological Construction in China, takes urban complex ecosystems of different scales and types in North China and East China as examples, introducing methods for urban ecological regulation from multiple perspectives such as technology, systems, and behavior. This book provides decision-makers, professional and technical personnel, and university teachers and students in urban society, economy, and environment fields with a cutting-edge, scientific, empirical, and systematic reference book for planning, construction, management, research, and teaching.
