The Ecological City explores a simple but increasingly urgent question:

How can cities move beyond decorative sustainability and begin functioning as living ecological systems?

 

Drawing on more than two decades of professional experience across Europe and Southeast Asia, this publication examines the relationships between soil, water, shade, vegetation, mobility, density and everyday urban life. Through essays, diagrams, urban readings and critical reflections, it proposes a different way of understanding ecology — not as a visual layer added to the city, but as one of its fundamental structural conditions.

 

Rather than asking how to make cities appear greener, The Ecological City investigates how ecological systems can become part of the very framework through which cities are designed, organized and inhabited.

 

From the hidden infrastructures beneath urban life to the role of climate, proximity, public space and urban nature, the book explores how future cities may need to evolve beyond the industrial paradigm and reconnect with the environmental systems that sustain them.
