      abstract = {Urban life without urban nature is unthinkable today! This  textbook on the Green City examines urban nature as an  ideal, provider of services and conceptual urban design  approach. It answers important contemporary questions that  arise about the ecological and cultural foundations,  development and structure, and ecological performance of  urban nature worldwide. The book explains what urban nature  is, how it came to be, and how it evolved in the context of  the natural and cultural conditions of its sites. It also  describes what constitutes urban biodiversity and the role  of differentiated urban nature in the Green City concept.  This book is a translation of the original German 1st  edition Die Grune Stadt by Jurgen Breuste, published by  Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature in  2019. The translation was done with the help of artificial  intelligence (machine translation by the service  DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done by the  author primarily in terms of content and scientific terms,  so that the book will read stylistically differently from a  conventional translation but without loss of messages.  Springer Nature works continuously to further the  development of tools for the production of books and on the  related technologies to support the authors. Theories of  urban development and ecology are linked to practical  applications of urban planning and illustrated with many  case studies and examples. The great potentials of urban  nature are shown in detail. In order to cope with or  mitigate problems in the city, a targeted urban nature  management adapted to the specific conditions of the  different types of urban nature is needed, which includes  nature conservation as well as nature design, always  keeping in mind the relation to the urban dwellers. The  textbook will appeal especially to students and teachers of  urban planning, ecology, geography, social sciences, and  practitioners of urban design. The Author Jurgen Breuste is  a renowned urban ecologist with special interdisciplinary  and international research experience on urban nature. He  currently teaches as a professor of urban and landscape  ecology at the Paris Lodron University of Salzburg,  University Bucharest, and East China University Shangha He  is also president of the international scientific Society  for Urban Ecology (SURE).},
