澳大利亚的墨尔本是一个生物多样性丰富的城市。它有很大比例的开放空间，并支持大量的植物群和动物物种，无论是本地的还是从世界各地引进的。高度的生物多样性部分是历史规划决定的结果，这些决定没有刻意考虑生物多样性，但无意中有利于许多植物和动物。然而，墨尔本目前正处于一个临界点，如果在规划、政策和管理中不明确和仔细考虑，持续的城市增长可能会导致生物多样性的丧失。加强生物多样性的未来将有助于和解之间的潜在的紧张关系（1）增长和保护和（2）管理的“本地”和“外来”的植被，目前嵌入在一系列的治理结构和公众的态度。这将有助于实施促进整个城市生物多样性的城市设计。
Melbourne, Australia is a city rich in biodiversity. It contains a high proportion of open space and supports a large number of flora and fauna species, both indigenous to the region and introduced from around the world. The high levels of biodiversity are partly the result of historical planning decisions that did not deliberately consider biodiversity yet inadvertently favoured many plants and animals. However, Melbourne is currently at a tipping point whereby continued urban growth is likely to result in a loss of biodiversity if it is not explicitly and carefully considered in planning, policy and management. Enhancing biodiversity into the future will be aided by a reconciliation of underlying tensions between (1) growth and conservation and (2) the management of ‘native’ and ‘exotic’ vegetation that are currently embedded in a range of governance structures and public attitudes. This would enable the implementation of urban design that promotes biodiversity across the city as a whole.
