Review of Western Research on Urban Environmental Issues Based on Urban Geography Perspective

A review of the western research on urban environmental issues is made in this paper based on the English literature collection,collation and analysis.Attention is paid to the following aspects:the rising of environmental issues,the main topics and processes of urban environmental issues,and the review from urban geography perspective.It is revealed that:the urban environmental problems have historic,scale and integrated characteristics,the traditional concept of the duality of city-nature/environment has been changed by current research,and the urban environment problem of developing countries is complicated and was neglected by western academic circles.Now,urban geography can exert its advantages to participate in and improve the urban environment issue research with the aid of technology innovation and discipline-crossing,and environmental issues will grow up to be an important study field in urban geography.
