About Us

City and nature in balance.

Urban Ecology Australia is a non-profit, community-based organisation, promoting people-and-nature-friendly urban settlements.

Ecological Cities

An eco-city is a city in balance with nature. We can make eco-cities here and now by incorporating energy and water conservation features in buildings, industry and transport, and by cultivating natural ecosystems and human communities in urban public spaces.
