    Urban ecology is a new w:science applying to cities concepts which were previously only applied to natural systems.

    It is often considered w:ecology could only apply to natural areas and wnatural resources. But, why not considering the w:city as a human w:ecosystem ? Urban ecology would then be the science aiming at seeking, maintaining, or restoring natural equilibrium, much more than just a way to take care of nuisances.
