Summary:

"The construction industry is keen to give nature a bigger role in area development, but the road from ambition to realization and management is a challenging one. This book identifies key challenges encountered during the various phases of the planning process and highlights possible solutions drawn from practice. In Nature-Inclusive Urban Development the authors look back to the very first European eco-districts form the final decade of the twentieth century and examine what the concept has delivered for residents and nature. They also assess the effectiveness of several pioneering international points systems in Amsterdam, Berlin, London, Malmö, Stockholm, and The Hague, among other cities. The book explores the operation and benefits of these points systems, and provides valuable solutions gleaned from interviews with practitioners in key positions. As such, nature-inclusive urban development offers practical pathways for overcoming governance challenges and fostering innovation for making cities biodiverse"--Page 4 of cover.
