基　　金：This work was based on“Effects of urban designed environment on urban plant biodiversity and feedback to urban planning and design practice”,financed by the National Natural Science Foundation of China(NSFC)[Grant No.52078346];It is with great gratitude to NSFC for supporting this transdisciplinary research.I received the acceptance letter on my tenth anniversary of professional work.I regard this perspective as summarizing me having a foot in both camps–one foot in ecological science and the other in planning and design practice.Thank anonymous reviewers and editors for their constructive comments。

摘　　要：There is a broad consensus that urban ecology science needs to be more effective in informing and supporting urban planning and design.How to bridge the two disciplines is still a grand challenge because scientific research often cannot find its way into practice.Underlying reasons have often been explored around governance,policies and institutional aspects.From a scientific research perspective,this paper briefly outlines the divergence between the two disciplines and seeks potential intersections of them.Overall,starting from the practical needs,this paper argues that there are many“plug-in”opportunities that should be explored in the whole research chain to accommodate successful co-development of research in practice,such as sharing similar research interests,jointly identifying research questions and objectives,adopting suitable research methods,well-designed research experiments and parameters(e.g.,matched scales,resolution levels,metrics and indicators),co-collection of site-specific data.Furthermore,this exploration can be enhanced,particularly at a local scale,where urban dwellers’perceptions,interests and the consequent influences on decision-making and actions can be well incorporated.
