Abstract

Addresses how to successfully accomplish eco-city planning that meets government requirements, based on hypotheses about feedback between social and biogeophysical processes. Emphasizing integration, the book discusses various aspects of planning theory. It also introduces urban planning modeling that uses existing social, vegetation, ecohydrological, and ecosystem service modules but is refined and operated for enhanced cross-disciplinary integration and prediction. Also contains several case studies of Chinese eco-cities covering a majority of the urban development patterns that offer in-depth examples of planning practices currently in use.
