公民科学是城市可持续性未来地球倡议成功的关键。城市土地遥相关的新兴研究强调了将政治生态学和参与性行动研究的理论见解结合起来的好处。本文回顾了推动公民科学最近流行的一些力量，概述了科学家和非科学家之间的合作过程所面临的挑战。我们将这些问题与公民科学项目产生的数据或其他产品可能引起的其他问题区分开来。仔细考虑公民科学的进程和产品，可以在专业科学家与其研究界之间建立更富有成效的关系，并帮助大学与更广泛的社会中那些专业知识来自其生活经验的人建立有效的伙伴关系。
Citizen science is key to the success of Future Earth Initiatives for urban sustainability. Emerging research in urban land teleconnections highlights the benefits of incorporating theoretical insights from political ecology and participatory action research. Reviewing some of the forces propelling the recent popularity of citizen science, this article outlines challenges to processes of collaboration between scientists and non-scientists. We distinguish these concerns from others that may arise from the data or other products resulting from citizen science projects. Careful consideration of the processes and products of citizen science could engender a more fruitful relationship between professional scientists and their research communities and help universities to build effective partnerships with those in wider society whose expertise comes from their life experience.
