PLANNING CITIES WITH NATURE GEBUNDEN

This book explores novel theories  strategies and methods for re-naturing cities. It enables
readers to learn from best practice and advances the current theoretical and empirical
understanding in the field. The book also offers valuable insights into how planners and
policymakers can apply this knowledge to their own cities and regions  exploring top-down 
bottom-up and mixed mechanisms for the systemic re-naturing of planned and existing cities.
There is considerable interest in ¿naturalising¿ cities  since it can help address multiple
global societal challenges and generate various benefits  such as the enhancement of health and
well-being  sustainable urbanisation  ecosystems and their services  and resilience to climate
change. This can also translate into tangible economic benefits in terms of preventing health
hazards  positively affecting health-related expenditure  new job opportunities (i.e. urban
farming) and the regeneration of urban areas. There is  thus  a compelling case to investigate
integrative approaches to urban and natural systems that can help cities address the social 
economic and environmental needs of a growing population. How can we plan with nature? What are
the models and approaches that can be used to develop more sustainable cities that provide
high-quality urban green spaces?
