Greening the City: Bringing Biodiversity Back into the Urban Environment
Proceedings of a conference held by the Royal New Zealand Institute of Horticulture in Christchurch, 21–24 October 2003.
Conference proceedings are also available online as individual PDFs.
These proceedings, edited by Murray Dawson and published December 2005, contain papers from a highly successful conference on urban biodiversity covering a broad range of topics including:
- The important role of cities as a repository for biodiversity
- Social aspects of biodiversity in the urban environment
- Restoration and revegetation projects throughout New Zealand
- Trees in the urban environment
- Using plants to create healthy environments.
These proceedings will be relevant to a wide audience, including conservation groups and trusts, academics, ecologists, social scientists, students, conservation educators, horticulturists, landscape architects, town and city planners, greenspace managers, tangata whenua, and conservationists.
