Scale economics: ecological theory and planning practice in urban landscapes
Abstract Scale economics have had a profound effect on urban and rural planning. Although in urban areas concern often arises over the provision of services, scale and other scale-related spatial variables affecting the functioning of urban ecosystems are not sufficiently well understood to be included in the planning process in a comprehensive way. This paper reviews those areas of urban planning that are sensitive to scale economics and how these have impacted urban ecosystems. It reviews recent research on scale as a factor in urban nature conservation and suggests how biogeographical concepts could be used more widely in urban planning practice.
