Note publique d'information : This edited volume centers around the concept of BioCities, which aim to unify nature
and urban spaces in order to reverse the effects of global climate change and inequity.
Following this principle, the authors propose multiple approaches for sustainable
city growth. The discussed concepts are not only relevant for newly constructed cities,
but offer transformative perspectives for existing settlements as well. Placing nature
at the forefront of city planning is not an entirely new concept, so the authors build
on established ideas like the garden city, green city, eco-city, or smart city. All
chapters aim to highlight aspects to develop a city that is a resilient nature-based
socio-ecological system. Many of these concepts were formed in an effort to copy the
best traits of a forest ecosystem: a home for many different species that build complex
communities. Much like many of our forests, urban areas are managed by humans for
multifunctional purposes, using living and abiotic components. This viewpoint helps
to understand the potential and limitations of sustainable growth. With these chapters,
the authors want to inspire planners, ecologists, urban foresters and decision makers
of the future.
