Nature in Towns and Cities: New Naturalist 127: Leather bound

Nature in Towns and Cities is a comprehensive guide to urban natural history discusses the major advances in the conservation of nature in our towns and cities and how animals and plants have adapted, in varying degrees, to urbanisation.

But this is not merely an exploration of natural history within the urban environment – David Goode uses his knowledge of urban ecology to describe the range of habitats and species which exist within urban areas, and shows how our understanding is being applied to encourage a greater variety of nature into towns and cities. He illustrates how an ecological approach can be incorporated within planning and design to create a range of habitats from tiny oases to extensive new urban woodland and wetlands.
