“…Together, these inform and determine the general loca tion, constraints, and opportunities to be further explored through the design process (Lynch andHack 1984, LaGro 2001). In this phase, environmental consultants conduct their assessments and submit their reviews or environmen tal impact statements to the relevant agencies for approval (Alter 2012). Environmental consultants usually rely on available biological information and limited monitoring and rarely apply hypothesisdriven research (Pouyat et al 2010).…”

eMilie k. stAnder, And olyssA stArryThe integration of research into the design process is an opportunity to build ecologically informed urban design solutions. To date, designers have traditionally relied on environmental consultants to provide the best available science; however, serious gaps in our understanding of urban ecosystems remain. To evaluate ecosystem processes and services for sustainable urban design and to further advance our understanding of socialecological processes within the urban context, we need to integrate primary research into the urban design process. In this article, we develop a road map for such a synthesis. Supporting our proposals by case studies, we identify strategic entry points at which urban ecology researchers can integrate their work into the design process.
