Urban Nature Conservation: Landscape Management in the Urban Countryside

Urban Nature Conservation: Landscape Management in the Urban Countryside





Urban nature conservation is a field that has grown rapidly in importance over the past 20 years and will continue to do so in the coming years as landscape ecology and greenspace planning become established disciplines. A widespread concern and interest in the wild plants and animal life found in urban areas now influences the policies and practices of land management organizations. This book enables the formation of strategic management policies that allow the integration of urban nature conservation into a wider landscape management of urban planning framework. The text gives a comprehensive overview of how the habitats are formed, how they can be encouraged and expanded, and how people evaluate and react to the wildlife they encounter.
