Cities and Urbanization/Sustainable Development/Biodiversity – How urban gardens can boost biodiversity and make cities more sustainable (Karen Kirstine Christensen-Dalsgaard, The Conversation, WEF)

  • Cities are now driving significant environmental problems, such as elevated pollution levels, climate change and habitat loss.
  • This can be improved by increasing the amount of green infrastructure present, such as trees, gardens and wetlands.
  • However, much of the urban greenery is found in privately owned gardens, meaning individual people must decide how to manage this space.
  • By incorporating flowers and adding more vegetation in private gardens, citizens can increase the biodiversity of a city and help reduce climate change.
