Can we rely on the traditional approach to nature conservation as new urban landscapes are formed? Do we need to think about nature conservation in urban areas differently? Can we make nature part of the city - not apart from the city?
For many, the urban environment is the very antithesis of the natural environment. The aspiration to form more sustainable cities is likely to result in urban densification, a greater demand for outdoor space for people and the creation of a green infrastructure which is designed and managed primarily for practical functions such as flood management. So is there space for nature in the urban environment? If so, can we rely on the traditional approach to nature conservation as new urban landscapes are formed? The lecture will explore whether we need to think about nature conservation in urban areas differently. Whether we can make nature part of the city - not apart from the city.
