(List of Websites)
|
Great index/directory on the left side of
the page, but the categories don't link to anything further! The sites
referenced here are primarily organizations and online journals; no
actual projects or case studies are included. The list of sites is
extremely comprehensive, however there is no way to search within the
list for a specific type of organization.

THE
ECO GATEWAY
|
|
(List of Publications)
|
This website has an
excellent list of categories related to Urban Ecology, and is very
broad in the type of articles and essays that it links its users to.
Some are published reports from cities, others are ongoing research at
universities. This website is very much a model for written case
studies.

THE
ECOLOGICAL CITIES PROJECT
|
|
(List of Organizations)
|
As I mentioned in
both the Research Challenges
and Academic/Educational
Websites sections of this website, the Ecological Cities project
diagram acts as a wonderful way of illustrating "the many
components and interdisciplinary nature" of urban ecology. Within
this part of their website one can browse through links to other
organizations and projects according to topic. Elsewhere on the
Ecological Cities website users can search an internal database of
urban watershed projects or look up organizations based on geographic
location/scope.

PLANETIZEN
|
|
(List of Websites, Organizations and Articles)
|
In addition to
Planetizen's highly searchable collection of news articles and essays,
the website has a very thorough list of organizations and corresponding
web links listed by topic (and then alphabetically). Planetizen has an
annual "Top 50" website list and maintains very high
standards for what makes the cut, so it's worth it to check back here
regularly.
