Urban Ecology Links :: Website Typologies :: Portals + Internet Reference
Please
note: The site's name, project/organization location, and my comments
about each website are located in the left-hand column. Clicking on
each corresponding screenshot in the right-hand column will take you to
the actual website in a new browser window so you can investigate the
site, project or organization yourself.
ABOUT PLANNING DIRECTORY |
(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. |
