BEN WILSON – REWILDING THE CITY

The English historian publicist Ben Wilson wrote the critically acclaimed bestseller Urban Jungle. In it he takes readers on a breathtaking journey through nature in the city, from the Stone Age to the present. He describes with compelling examples of cities from all over the world how the balance between nature and city is shifting. “When you think of the city of the future, don’t think of concrete and stone buildings, but rather plants, urban farms and forests winding around offices. By looking at cities in this new way, we can develop innovative ways to live sustainably in an increasingly busy century, where climate change will determine our fate.”
