The Value of Biodiversity in Cities.With this book, Robert McDonald offers a comprehensive framework for maintaining and strengthening the supporting bonds between cities and nature through innovative infrastructure projects. 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 livable urban places. 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 livable.EcologyEnvironmental SciencesEcology.Environmental Sciences.710McDonald Robertauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut570225BOOK9910299675803321Conservation for Cities2521950UNINA
