This is the first book to provide an overview of international developments in urban biodiversity and sustainable design. It brings together the views, experiences and expertise of leading scientists and designers from the industrialised and pre-industrialised countries from around the world. The contributors explore the biological, cultural and social values of urban biodiversity, including methods for assessing and evaluating urban biodiversity, socialConservation science and practice series.Urban ecology (Biology)BiodiversityTownsCitiesUrban ecology (Biology)Biodiversity.333.9516091732577.5/6Müller Norbert1606730Werner Peter400497Kelcey John G986701Zoological Society of London.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910830712503321Urban biodiversity and design3932680UNINA
