Abstract

The metropolitan landscape includes more than just densely populated center cities; the surrounding countryside also supports important urban ecological and cultural functions. Given this larger context, our common future depends on new knowledge creation about metropolitan vulnerability, sustainability, resiliency, and regeneration. This special issue of Landscape Journal presents several translational perspectives on the metropolitan landscape from authors representing the ecological sciences (landscape ecology, urban ecology, conservation biology, and restoration ecology) and landscape architecture (landscape design, landscape planning, and regional planning). This introduction creates an intellectual road map for the important themes in this special issue: to explain translational research and show how it can be used; to help weave together various intellectual contributions to our understanding; and to provide potential avenues for future knowledge generation and collaboration in metropolitan landscape ecology.
