面对全球城市化和气候变化，科学家们越来越多地利用城市来试验更具弹性的城市基础设施形式。试验是适应的实际层面;这是决策者、研究人员、企业和社区负责寻找新途径时在实践中发生的情况。本文追溯了一个特殊的实验谱系，以适应性生态学，它拒绝外部控制系统的可能性，铸造规划和行政职能，甚至科学家自己，作为社会生态系统的一部分。利用政治生态学，实验室研究和城市研究的见解，本文探讨了生态学家参与长期生态研究计划在美国嵌入适应性实验到城市治理。讨论的重点是适应性科学的地方的作用，考虑生态城市治理的政治影响，并使其实验。
In the face of global urbanisation and climate change, scientists are increasingly using cities to experiment with more resilient forms of urban infrastructure. Experimentation represents the practical dimension of adaptation; it is what happens in practice when policymakers, researchers, businesses and communities are charged with finding new paths. This paper traces one particular lineage of experimentation to resilience ecology, which rejects the possibility of external control over a system, casting planning and administrative functions, and even scientists themselves, as part of a Social-Ecological System. Using insights from political ecology, laboratory studies and urban studies, the paper explores how ecologists involved with the Long Term Ecological Research Programme in the USA are embedding adaptive experiments into urban governance. Discussion focuses on the role of place in adaptive science, considering the political implications of ecologising urban governance and rendering it experimental.
