| Abstract, etc | The peri-urban is a fast-changing, semi-natural ecosystem that provides natural resources for growing cities in<br/>terms of water bodies, open and green lands, and orchards. Peri-urbanisation leads to the usurpation of ecologically<br/>sensitive lands for housing and other construction activities. These change the face of agriculture, reduce open<br/>spaces, enhance pressure on natural resources like water. These areas are marked by a lack of hygiene and<br/>sanitation infrastructure, industrial effluence, air pollution and inadequate provision of basic services. Often, the<br/>solid waste of a city is dumped in peri-urban areas.<br/>The resilience of most of the secondary cities in India is threatened with the decline of ecosystem services. With<br/>rapid land-use changes and an economic shift from agriculture to urban development, small-scale and marginal<br/>farmers in peri-urban areas, whose practices provide redundancy to urban food production, are on the brink<br/>of collapse. The diversity of peri-urban agriculture, including its ability to provide food in periods of floods and<br/>waterlogging, is an example of how the provisioning services of ecosystems help in developing the flexibility of hard<br/>systems.<br/>Peri-urban ecosystems are increasingly at risk of degradation and loss as natural resource consumption and waste<br/>in peri-urban areas increase due to rapid urbanization and increasing human activity. Cities do not operate in<br/>isolation but within a “sphere of dependence” on surrounding areas and their ecosystems. As such, the degradation<br/>of these ecosystems results in the loss of ecosystem services that support urban and peri-urban populations.<br/>This Knowledge Compendium is a collection of case studies from different cities in India which establishes the<br/>important connection between the role of peri-urban ecosystems and urban resilience. |
