Fair use rationale for Image:Albelwolman.JPG[edit]

Image:Albelwolman.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

The Metabolism of Cities[edit]

The concept of Urban Metabolism goes back to Abel Wolman (see 1965), who was the first to draw the comparison between an organism and a city. Cities, like organisms, need energy and resources such as fuel, water or food as inputs to sustain life. These input are processed and ultimately released back to the environment as wastes. Hence, the basic rationale behind the urban metabolism concept is that the relationship between the environment and an urban system can be described by systematically recording all flows to and from the environment in physical terms as shown in Figure 2 in analogy to economy-‐wide material flow accounting (Eurostat 2001) or similar approaches (see Brunner and Rechberger 2004). In the absence of further information about environmental sources and sinks, this is then usually regarded as an estimate of the pressure environmental pressures generated by urban systems.

Drafting a New Version of Article for WikiEducation[edit]

Hello everyone! I wanted to come on here to clarify that we have begun drafting a new version of the article as a project with WikiEducation. We wanted to edit this article in order to ensure the information is accurate and properly cited while adding more information. Some major edits we made includes adding new sections such as Legacy and Research Publications. We also added information and citations about his personal life, such as who he married and added more context to his education and career. Hopefully you will enjoy our drafted version of the article. Best, Fatehazannath (talk) 20:37, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
