Podcast: Bringing Nature Back Into Cities

We know what we should do, and there are so many reasons to do it. So, what’s stopping us? What are the barriers?

If you dream of greening our cities, please take the time to listen to this excellent podcast episode on Nature Sensitive Urban Design.

Dr Thami Croeser is an urban planner with a focus on bringing nature back into cities in practical ways, at large scale. He is a Research Fellow at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia.
In this episode we discuss practical ways of bringing more nature into cities and helping it thrive through urban planning and design. 

The first part of the podcast has a wealth of practical information and research on the benefits of nature for shade and biodiversity in our cities, especially our streets.

For me, it’s the last part of the podcast that makes this essential listening.

We know what we should do, and there are so many reasons to do it. So, what’s stopping us? What are the barriers?
