Scientist Robert McDonald details fundamentals of how to integrate
natural infrastructure with urban planning to create resilient and
liveable cities. It's time to think differently about cities and
nature. More people than ever live in cities, and all of this urban
growth, along with challenges of adapting to climate change, will
require a new approach to infrastructure if we're going to create
liveable urban places. With Conservation for Cities, Robert
McDonald offers a comprehensive framework for maintaining and
strengthening the supporting bonds between cities and nature
through innovative infrastructure projects. After presenting a
broad approach to incorporating natural infrastructure priorities
into urban planning, he focuses each following chapter on a
specific ecosystem service. He describes a wide variety of
benefits, and helps practitioners answer fundamental questions
about how to use natural infrastructure to create communities that
are more resilient and liveable.
