Urban ecology is an interdisciplinary academic field that investigates the complex interactions between organisms, their environment, and human society within urbanized areas. It integrates ecological principles with social, economic, and physical aspects of cities to understand the structure, function, and dynamics of urban ecosystems, aiming to inform sustainable urban planning and management for ecological integrity and human well-being.
