Description

Bring nature to the big city!

Cities across the world are doing it - making themselves friendlier places for plants and wildlife - and happier, healthier places for all of us.

Discover sponge cities, "birdi-cities", living seawalls, high-rise forests, pollinator pathways and guerrilla gardens. Learn how nature brings joy, health, wildlife and, critically, resilience to climate change in our increasingly urban world. From cherry orchards over motorway junctions to skyscraper peregrine nests, wonderful wetland walkways and pangolin pathways, this book illustrates the world's greenest urban jungles.

Includes the "bird highway in the sky" above New York City. With full color illustrations throughout, Cities Going Wild is packed with facts, with activities for families and schools to make their own "greening" contributions, and spotting activities on every city spread.
