In urban ecology, the city is viewed as a true ecosystem, rich in original habitats where humans and non-humans coexist. These environments are shaped by the specific features of cities, including habitat fragmentation and a diversity of uses. They host novel assemblages of species and highlight the decisive role of human activities—from everyday management to urban planning—in ecological dynamics. This book traces the emergence of urban ecology and examines the challenges related to biodiversity in urban environments, as well as social inequalities in access to natural spaces. It describes urban biotopes, their capacity to support life, and the biocenoses that develop within them—urban-adapted flora and fauna, ecological dynamics, and the multiple interactions between species. Finally, it presents strategies for preserving biodiversity in cities, analysing public policies, environmental management, the ecosystem services provided by urban nature, and innovative approaches such as ecological engineering and the restoration of connectivity between habitats. The result of a collective effort, this authoritative reference work draws on the most recent advances in urban ecology to reflect on collaboration between researchers and urban stakeholders. It explores the potential of regenerative urban planning to reconcile urban development with biodiversity conservation. Intended for higher education, professionals and public decision-makers, it remains accessible to a wide audience interested in cities and the living world.
