This book provides syntheses of ecological theories and overarching patterns of urban bird ecology that have only recently become available. The numerous habitats represented in this book ranges from rows of trees in wooded alleys, to wastelands and remnants of natural habitats encapsulated in the urban matrix. Authored by leading scientists in this emergent field, the chapters explore how the characteristics of the habitat in urban environments influence bird communities and populations at multiple levels of ecological organization and at different spatial and temporal scales, and how this information should be incorporated in urban planning to achieve an effective conservation of bird fauna in urban environments.

This books covers in detail all the challenges and solutions of spatial diversity and dynamics in resources and in urban development, while other books are restricted to a few specific items
The contributions in the volumes are written by practitioners as well as established university based researchers
It will provide scholars and professionals with a survey of the contemporary work in the field and with insights into remaining questions, methodological debates and new ways of thinking within the broader realm of resources and urban development

This textbook answers important questions about the ecological structure, functions and socio-ecological development of cities worldwide. It explains ecological challenges for cities of the 21st century such as resource efficiency, climate change, moderation of quality of life and resilience. The book combines theories of urban development and ecology with practical applications and case studiest worldwide. It shows that cities are by far not only problem areas but also offer great potential for a good life and that the various urban ecosystems can make a considerable contribution to this. The "eco-city" is a real goal that can be pursued step by step in a targeted manner, taking into account the local and regional context.
