Beschreibung
As the second volume of this trilogy focused on nature in cities, this book focuses on global case study examples relevant to ‘nature-based urbanism’. As a relatively newer field of research, nature-based urbanism encompasses the integration of ecological systems into the planning, design, and management of urban environments, ensuring that cities function not just as human habitats but as active components of broader natural systems. Nature-based urbanism is positioned as a revolutionary method of urban development in the Anthropocene by integrating ecosystem services, cultural values, and climate adaptability. This book makes the case that understanding nature as a co-creator of urban life, rather than just a source of inspiration, is essential to the future of cities. In doing so, it presents a picture of cities as living, breathing landscapes that are resilient, adaptive, and intricately linked to the ecological systems that support them.
