"Schauplätze und Themen der Umweltgeschichte" ist die Frucht einer Seminarveranstaltung und der vierte Werkstattbericht, in dem zunächst ausschließlich Orte exemplarischer umwelthistorischer Bedeutung vorgestellt und einem Leserkreis als lohnende Ausflugs- oder Reiseziele empfohlen wurden. Im Laufe der Jahre stellte sich heraus, dass manche selbstbegründeten umwelthistorische Themen nicht oder nur sehr bemüht "verortet" werden können, bei anderen Themen ist der heutige Ort kaum mehr physisch, sondern nur noch ideengeschichtlich mit dem umwelthistorischen Thema verbunden ist. Deshalb wurde bereits mit der dritten Ausgabe das "Ortsprinzip" zum Teil aufgehoben und thematische Essays und Aufsätze aus der Seminarproduktion sind mit aufgenommen worden. Der Band setzt die Berichterstattung über Arbeitserträge aus der gleichnamigen Seminarveranstaltung des Graduiertenkollegs "Interdisziplinäre Umweltgeschichte" fort. Die Beiträge möchten auch Fernerstehenden ein stärkeres Bewußtsein für zeit- und ortsübergreifende Umweltthemen vermitteln und zielen damit zugleich auch auf die Stärkung der ökologischen Grundbildung. Sie können unseres Erachtens auch Vorlagen oder Arbeitsmittel für ähnliche Seminarveranstaltungen sein.

People and industries have concentrated to the big cities to achieve economies of scale. However the problems of this urban concentration become gradually obvious and have limited the development of the metropolises. They are hardly managed by current planning measures. In the diversifying social needs for heterogeneous life styles and sustainable mobility, now it is inevitable to adjust the sustainable space system. As an alternative answerable to this new demand here is suggested an approach of network cities. The conceptual approaches can be applied to other countries, especially functionally centralized nations or developing countries which experience now rapid urbanization than any other times.
