urban ecosystem

An urban ecosystem refers to the interconnected community of plants, animals, humans, buildings, and the environment within a city or town. It includes natural elements like parks, rivers, and trees, as well as man-made structures such as roads, homes, and factories. These components interact and depend on each other, shaping the health and sustainability of urban areas. Recognizing urban ecosystems helps us understand how human activities influence the environment and how to create cities that are healthy for both people and nature.
