Eco-Services For Urban Sustainability

Jieqiong Wang's research considered the provision of eco-services in the urban development process, demonstrating that ecological degradation in the Yangtze River Delta of China results from environmentally insensitive planning and design. This book investigated the case of Lingang New City, correlating planning and design processes with formal outcomes using a GIS-based Eco-service Evaluation Model to clarifying the ways in which the planning system facilitates and impedes eco-services delivery.
