Urban Ecological Infrastructure: Challenges, Construction and Management

摘要

Urban is a typical social-economical-natural complex ecosystem dominated by human activities. Rapid urbanization brought a wide array of entwined and intricate ecological and environmental problems. Traditional urban infrastructure fails to deal with current urban environmental problems. In this paper we suggested the concept of urban ecological infrastructure based on analysis and induction of the urban environmental problems and its origins. We identified and compared the logic hypothesis of the related concepts on urban ecological infrastructure. Urban ecological infrastructure refers to the engineering facilities that can provide basic ecological services for urban production and consumption activities. It is a kind of public service system to ensure the sustainable development of physical and social ecological process including physical eco- infrastructure and social eco-infrastructure. At last the construction and management of ecological infrastructure were discussed.
