Abstract: The book is a positive image of how cities can contribute not only to a better economic and social future but also a profoundly better ecological future. Cities as Sustainable Ecosystems shows how cities can begin to reintegrate into their bioregional environment and planned taking into account nature's organizing principles. Therefore, professor Peter Newman and Isabella Jennings reassess urban design by exploring flows of energy, materials, and information, along with the interactions between human and non-human parts of the system. Cities as Sustainable Ecosystems describes aspects of urban ecosystems, being a powerful model for urban redevelopment
