我们认为，纯粹的赤字为基础的角度来看，城市社会生态系统（SES）和其中的人口代表障碍，这些系统的能力，从不理想的系统状态进入更理想的，可持续的。我们的特点问题，如个人的生态身份，人类豁免，自我中心主义和资源依赖。我们研究的概念中发现的资源依赖文献，在那里我们跟踪依赖的想法的根源。我们使用这些文献作为跳板，进入可能适用于城市环境的资源依赖的对跖概念的可能性，我们称之为积极的依赖。接下来，我们描述了两个可能的来源，在城市SES的积极依赖，紧迫的biophilia和恢复topophilia，然后通过简短的讨论应用积极的依赖城市系统的挑战和管理。我们的结论与积极的依赖性的认识作为一个先驱的发展，提高生态自我意识和生态的地方感在城市SES的重要性，并提供见解和建议，为进一步研究公民生态实践，可能会提高积极的依赖性和生态资产的投资，有助于积极的生态自我和地方感，以及这些对实现可持续的、有弹性的城市未来的重要性。
We argue that purely deficit-based perspectives regarding urban social-ecological systems (SES) and the human populations within them represent barriers to these systems' ability to move from undesirable system states into more desirable, sustainable ones. We characterize issues such as individual ecological identity, human exemptionalism, anthropocentrism, and resource dependence. We examine notions found in the resource dependency literature, where we trace the roots of ideas about dependency. We use this literature as a spring board into the possibilities of an antipodal notion of resource dependency potentially applicable in urban contexts, what we call positive dependency. Next we describe two possible sources of positive dependency in urban SES, urgent biophilia and restorative topophilia, followed by a brief discussion applying positive dependence to urban systems challenges and management. We conclude with the importance of recognition of positive dependency as a precursor to the development of a heightened sense of ecological self and sense of ecological place in urban SES, and provide insights and suggestions for further research into civic ecology practices that may enhance positive dependency on and investment in ecological assets that contribute to positive ecological senses of self and place, and the importance of these to achieving sustainable, resilient urban futures.
