urban environmental studies  

Definition

  • Urban environmental studies are emerging as an integrated science aiming to understand extended urban areas that include not only biological and physical features but also economic and social components. These studies improve our understanding of urban climate, hydrology, ecosystems, and environmental conditions and help us gain critical knowledge of how human and natural environments have interacted to motivate past urban environmental changes.
