Note(s) : Titre de l'écran-titre (visionné le 8 novembre 2013). - "A part of the Cities and Biodiversity Outlook Project."
To understand how the world's ecosystems are changing we need to understand cities,
and to create better cities we need to understand the ecosystems they depend on. The
failure of most markets, government policies and even urban studies to take these
relations into account has put cities, and increasingly the whole world, in a difficult
position. Studies like Urbanization, Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services can help
us to extricate ourselves, provided we act on the knowledge they provide. Gordon McGranahan
International Institute for Environment and Development The challenges of urbanization
are profound, but so too are the opportunities. Cities can reconcile human society
and biodiversity by creating environments that are ecologically sustainable, economically
productive, socially just, politically participatory and culturally vibrant. I commend
this study to all who have a stake in creating ecologically sustainable urbanization
for the benefit of humanity and the planet-- Ban Ki-moon Secretary-General, United
Nations.--[Source inconnue]
