Abstract This paper builds on the expansion of urban ecology from a biologically based discipline—ecology in city—to an increasingly interdisciplinary field—ecology transdisciplinary, knowledge to action endeavor—an for and with city. We build this “prepositional journey” by proposing transformative shift ecology, we present framework how field may continue shift. conceptualize that is state flux, needed transform into more engaged field, one includes diversity actors willing participate future their cities. In shift, these will engage, collaborate, continuous spiral → back loop, goal co producing sustainable resilient solutions myriad challenges. Our three pathways: (1) repeating ideas, information, produced diverse community agents change working together “urban sandbox”; (2) incorporation social–ecological–technological systems expanding temporally include “deep future,” where scenarios are visioning seemingly unimaginable or plausible states cities resilient; (3) space, rural areas places not yet The interrelated pathways define demonstrate power has moved beyond science realm collaborations among knowledges voices understand what while contemporary challenges envisioning futures socially, ecologically, technologically case study examples each make up discuss both limitations opportunities research transdisciplinary broadening field.

Abstract This perspective emerged from ongoing dialogue among ecologists initiated by a virtual workshop in 2021. A transdisciplinary group of researchers and practitioners conclude that urban ecology as science can better contribute to positive futures focusing on relationships, rather than prioritizing structures. Insights other relational disciplines, such political ecology, governance, design, conservation also contribute. Relationality is especially powerful given the need rapidly adapt changing social biophysical drivers global systems. These unprecedented dynamics are understood through lens traditional structural questions. We use three kinds coproduction—of social-ecological world, science, actionable knowledge—to identify key processes coproduction within places. Connectivity crucial ecology. Eight themes emerge joint explorations paper point toward action for improving life environment futures.

Abstract Educating more students about ecology and its beneficial applications to societal issues is urgent yet challenging. To address this challenge, diversifying education a key way make inclusive, accessible, interdisciplinary for people than ever. Advancing goal requires educators develop expansive view of (1) how engage diverse undergraduate in courses, especially those from historically underrepresented groups non‐majors, (2) the interdisciplinarity content (3) learner‐centered pedagogies used students. We suggest ways that ecologists can advance “ecology everyone” including focusing on connecting students' everyday lives local (urbanized) places; applying solving problems social–ecological systems; introducing diversity worldviews science nature; adopting authentic teaching practices such as course‐based research, service learning, reflective practices. Through efforts, become positivistic pluralistic help better appreciate value society use their ecological literacy improving communities ecosystems. Successful diversification should also benefit discipline decide take potentially pursue ecology‐related careers, support ecologically based decision‐making sustainable environmentally just future all people.

In today's constantly changing world, the lack of preparedness or a comprehensive strategy to cope with disruptive events can severely impact communityor even nationacross social, ecological, and technological dimensions. This study analyzes existing resilience frameworks pertaining three critical strategic sectors: physical infrastructure systems, industrial manufacturing plants facilities community systems. The intent is chart gaps opportunities toward building system-of-systems approach that integrates these sectors in better understand overall system resilience. A not only considers each (in this case, sectors) its capabilities but also emergent behaviors manifest due complexities interdependencies systems when viewed holistically. review first briefly describes evolution 'resilience' across disciplines, then examines sixty-nine assessment tackle dimensions mentioned above. Finally, paper enumerates significance between pave way for connecting different into approach. analysis reveals that: 1) infrastructure, manufacturing, predominantly focus on technical dimension, while those address all dimensions; 2) popular indicators include robustness recovery restorability demographics social capital systems; 3) Although developed target consider dimensions, there clear interdependency gap sectors.
