The biodiverse city

Urban areas can be biologically rich rather than ravaged and lead the way in sustainable development
 

Look to Kampala

Ugandan capital focuses on the potential rather than the risks of urban agriculture
 

The nature of cities blog

A collective of contributors — an essay site devoted to cities as ecological spaces
