About this listen
A globe-spanning look at how to integrate nature into the places where we live – and how to create the wild cities of the future.
A connection to nature is vital to our wellbeing. The sound of birds, the smell of tree oils, the presence of free-flowing water. Studies have shown that patients who can observe a natural scene through a hospital window recover faster. Nature is a necessity, not a luxury.
But the majority of the world’s population lives in some form of urban environment. By 2050, two thirds of humanity – nearly 7 billion people – are expected to live in towns and cities. As the human footprint of brick, concrete and metal expands, what do we do about our connection to the natural world?
Wild Cities takes readers on an evocative journey to pioneering projects around the world – from the tiny urban forests of Tokyo, to the lions, giraffes, and other wild animals in Nairobi, to the star-rich skies of Flagstaff – to imagine a world where city-living includes regular and meaningful contact with nature.
