Greening Neighbourhoods and Buildings 330 $aThe need to find new approaches to the development of cities is becoming increasingly urgent in this age of continuing population growth, demographic transition, climate change, fossil fuel peak and biodiversity losses. Restoring ecosystem services and promoting biodiversity is essential to sustainable development - even in the built environment. Ecosystem Services come to Town: greening cities by working with nature demonstrates how to make urban environments greener. It starts by explaining how, by mimicking nature and deliberately creating habitats to provide ecosystem services, ci 606 $aCity planning$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aSustainable urban development 615 0$aCity planning$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aSustainable urban development. 676 $a711/.4 700 $aGrant$b Gary$f1958-$0889816 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910139690203321 996 $aEcosystem services come to town$91987936 997 $aUNINA
