Description

Urban sustainability depends greatly on ensuring urban resilience, and the concept of urban resilience includes many sub-concepts and factors. Urban sustainability is but one of the many sub-concepts of urban resilience, but is an important aspect of urban resilience. The concept of urban sustainability in turn incorporates many other concepts, and this research highlights some of the reasons and benefits of using natural vegetation and growing species in natural vegetation for the ecological sustainability of cities.
