Ecosystem services are essential to cities. Planning for a sustainable city requires identification of the benefits that nature provides and understanding their value.

The papers published in this issue were presented at the 3rd International Conference on Urban Biodiversity held at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, in Mumbai, India in October, 2012
