This project aims to understand relationships between people and nature in modern cities through their history. In an increasingly urbanised world, nature in cities is crucial for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem services, but today’s urban wildlife, trees and reserves—and residents’ relationships with them—are legacies of a largely unknown past. By providing insights into the drivers of urban residents’ everyday relationships with nature from 1880-2020 and engaging the public through historical narratives, the research will inform current urban greening, conservation and restoration projects and policy. The project expects to promote urban sustainability and produce vital new insights into changing urban cultures and environments.

该项目旨在通过历史来理解现代城市中人与自然的关系。在一个日益城市化的世界里，城市中的自然对生物多样性保护和生态系统服务至关重要，但今天的城市野生动物、树木和保护区——以及居民与它们的关系——是一个基本上不为人知的过去的遗产。通过深入了解1880-2020年间城市居民与自然日常关系的驱动因素，并通过历史叙述吸引公众，该研究将为当前的城市绿化、保护和恢复项目和政策提供信息。该项目旨在促进城市可持续发展，并为不断变化的城市文化和环境提供重要的新见解。
