This Knowledge Compendium is a collection of case studies from different cities in India which establishes important connections between the role of peri-urban ecosystems and urban resilience. It is essential to ensure city and urban developmental dynamics, ecosystem integrity, and service flows. Peri-urban ecosystems are key providers of social, economic and health vulnerabilities by providing resources, buffers and capacities that help to reduce vulnerabilities. Peri-urban ecosystems are increasingly at risk of degradation and loss as natural resource consumption and waste in peri-urban areas increase due to rapid urbanization and increasing human activity.
