Abstract

Making Urban Nature is an inspirational book of examples about nature-inclusive designing in European cities. It calls for the integration of the living conditions found in nature in the designs of buildings and urban outdoor spaces and includes practical examples and design suggestions.

The city is a rich habitat of great biodiversity. Many animal and plant species are now more common in urban areas than in rural areas. However, urban nature is fragile and planners and policymakers still consider the city to be the exclusive habitat of people.
