The wild city: collaborative practises in urban renaturing

Resumen

"The Wild City: collaborative practices in urban renaturing" delves into the realm of urban nature regeneration through multi-stakeholder co-creative processes. The book showcases recent projects that demonstrate the capacity of urban nature to strengthen citizen commitment towards environmental care and behavioral change. By engaging diverse stakeholders, - artists, scientists, urban designers, and citizens-, these projects do not only enhance social-ecological performance but also maximize long-term sustainability impacts. Drawing insights from recent EU-funded projects, it explores diverse interventions ranging from metropolitan-scale initiatives to building-scale interventions. Through this novel state-of-practice, the book seeks to unlock the potential of co-creation as a catalyst for interdisciplinary knowledge exchange, project impact amplification, and climate adaptation effective actions.

The Wild City invites readers to envision a future where co-creation and urban greening intersect, offering a roadmap towards resilient, aesthetically appealing, and social-ecologically viable urban landscapes that thrive in harmony with nature.
