City as Ecosystem

The concept of a "City as Ecosystem" views urban areas as complex systems where various elements—people, buildings, infrastructure, and nature—interact like organisms in a natural ecosystem. Just as ecosystems rely on a balance of resources, cities depend on transportation, social networks, and environmental factors to thrive. This perspective emphasizes sustainability, highlighting the need for green spaces, clean air, and water management. By recognizing these interactions, city planners can create healthier, more livable environments that promote well-being for all inhabitants, similar to maintaining biodiversity in nature.
