Abstract
⺠I distinguish between the ecology of cities and ecology in cities. ⺠I discuss appropriate scales of analysis of the relationship between ecosystem services and human health and well-being. ⺠Great inequalities in the relationship between environment and health are to be expected across any urban area. ⺠Clear physical and mental health benefits accrue from the use of urban greenspaces. ⺠Urban governance has a major influence on the response to opportunities offered by nature in cities.
