A radical and urgent re-examination of nature in our cities, by the Sunday Times bestselling author. 'Revelatory… full of awe, warnings, and hope' ISABELLA TREE, author of Wilding. Our modern cities may seem to represent our disconnect from the vitality of the natural world. However, as Ben Wilson reveals in this refreshing re-examination of urban landscapes worldwide, nature has always been at the heart of the city. Moving from Los Angeles and Delhi to Singapore and Amsterdam, Wilson explores how the connection of people and nature has oscillated throughout history, and shows that – in an era of climate crisis – a new approach to rewilding may prove to be life-saving for the city. 'Wilson soars like a hawk over global cities on five continents' WASHINGTON POST. 'Fresh and provocative' THE TIMES.
