Urbanisation is expanding exponentially while the resources to help manage and provide social services is limited. UN-Habitats projected that 75% of the world population will be living in cities in next 30 years and in the same vein more than 5 times of the global GDP will be invested in urban infrastructure and its uses. The overall objective is to provide in-depth insight into urban ecosystem and establish linkage to biosphere through reducing greenhouse gas emission in order to enhance standard of living of inhabitants of the cities. The socio-ecological theoretical framework is used in this discourse as a guiding principle to help better understand the subtle of the subject matter. Some emphasis is placed on functionalist theory to establish the relationship between different parts of society and its environment. Consequently, qualitative methods were used in this article to give narratives and observation of the urban ecosystem. A detailed description and secondary data are used in these deliberations to give account of the severalty of urbanisation and how urban ecosystem can be a remedy to socio-ecological problems. In conclusion, urban ecosystem comes to address the environmental problems and climate change issues to become resilience by improving the wellbeing of the people. Urbanisation should be checked and managed to cater for the needs of the present with compromising the needs of the future generation to come.
