搭建城市生态与自然生态的桥梁

Bridging the Ecologies of Cities and of Nature

城市是一种社会生态系统,与自然生态的对接范围一直在扩展。当前,这种对接的大部分正在对环境产生破坏。本文考量我们应该开始怎样运用这些对接以产生正面的结果——这些结果可以让城市对环境的可持续发展做出贡献。城市具有复杂的、系统的、多尺度的能力,这使城市具备了与自然生态进行广泛正面对接的巨大潜力。

Cities are a type of socio-ecological system that has an expanding range of articulations with nature＇ s ecologies. Today, most of these articulations produce environmental damage. The chapter examines how we can begin to use these articulations to produce positive outcomes - outcomes that allow cities to contribute to environmental sustainability. The complex systemic and multi-scalar capacities of cities are a massive potential for a broad range of positive articulations with nature＇ s ecologies.
