Abstract
Industrialization and economic expansion emerged in developing countries accelerate the process of urbanization, while some ecological problems such as natural ecology system damage and transformation of urban land also showed up. In the prophase of urban ecology planning, sustainable development should be taken into consideration to reduce the further transformation of the city and ecological restoration in the later period. For the purpose, this paper applied a framework of sustainable urban ecological construction to the problems that urban areas are facing with. A Bio-related design based perspective is proposed: focusing on the relationship among biological principles, organisms and design. Given three different sustainability research aspects: urban resilience, urban environment and urban biodiversity, this paper provides some suggestions for urban ecology construction. Key research questions for urban planners, landscape ecologists and designers are posed to advance the development of urban ecology in a bio-design mode.
