Summary

This book gives an interdisciplinary overview on urban ecology. Basic understanding of urban nature development and its social reception are discussed for the European Metropolitan Area of Berlin. Further we investigate specific consequences for environment and nature and the quality of life for city dwellers due to profound changes of climate, city shrinking, and the demographic and economic developments. Actual problems of urban ecology should be discussed not only in terms of natural dimension like Atmosphere, Biosphere, Pedosphere and Hydrosphere but also in terms of social dimension like urban planning, dwelling and recreation, traffic and mobility and economic values. Our research findings focus on streets, new urban landscapes after deconstructing apartment blocks, intermediate use of brownfields, and the relationships between urban nature and the well-being of city dwellers. Finally, the book provides a contribution to the international discussion on the theory of urban ecolog
