In the bustling cities of the world, a pressing issue arises: the unequal distribution of green spaces, hindering the pursuit of sustainable development. While human intervention plays a significant role in shaping urban landscapes, it is the untamed nature that thrives in neglected or overlooked spaces. This captivating book delves into the intricate world of microsites of spontaneous nature, offering a fresh perspective on the relationship between urban development and green space.
Drawing from extensive literature and primary research conducted in diverse towns and cities, including Quito in Ecuador, Bengaluru and Kolkata in India, and Whitby in the United Kingdom, the book explores the morphology, meanings, and values of these small-scale assemblages of wild growth. Instead of overlooking these natural phenomena, the book proposes integrating them into everyday urban life, offering a transformative approach to issues surrounding green infrastructure, heritage conservation, and environmental education.
By adopting a nature-positive perspective, cities worldwide can unlock the full potential of their green spaces, fostering a harmonious coexistence between human activities and the natural world. This book appeals to students, researchers, and professionals across landscape architecture, urban planning, urban ecology, and related fields, providing valuable insights and inspiration for building more sustainable and resilient cities.
