📢 New research by colleague Hugh Stanford: Exploring how cities can unlock the potential of overlooked, informal green spaces! #urbanism 🌏 #urbanNature #naturebasedsolutions theconversation.com/old-drains-and…
Overseas, the ‘3-30-300' city planning rule is increasingly seen as critical to human health and wellbeing. But new research from @RMIT has found Sydney and Melbourne are failing when it comes to one key component - tree cover. au.news.yahoo.com/two-aussie-cit…
Many cities fail the 3-30-300 benchmark for urban nature. The ‘3’ is often met and the ‘300’ is patchy due to poor tree canopy coverage. Cities need better planting conditions and governance to support tree growth @_ficus @TerrEcolGroup @geoconR @sbekessy nature.com/articles/s4146…

Up now on the ICON blog: Find out about the new "Nature Pledge for Developers" launched by @sbekessy @Biodivcouncil at the recent Global Nature Positive Summit! #naturePositive #urbanNature Will your organisation join others in signing the pledge? icon-science.org/nature-pledge-…
Here at the global nature positive summit in Sydney - excited about our Built Environment session coming up soon - hoping for some tangible ways forward for the development industry to embrace nature positive @ICON_Science @RMIT_CUR @Biodivcouncil
Fresh post on the ICON blog icon-science.org/ecology-insigh… The @BioUrbanDesign team with Nature Collective presented their first "Nature Insights" series to a huge range of industry people across the property sector:
One day (soon?) 'everyday nature' will be a basic human right. Read our new paper for the latest on how to rethink design of cities to build everyday nature into the urban fabric conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/co… @Biodivcouncil @RMIT_CUR @GeorgiaGarrard @RewildingOZ @livingbuilding
A great piece by @_ficus and @HollyKirk for @ConversationEDU on using 'stepping stones' to connect isolated #wildlife habitats to help #birds and #insects thrive in our cities. #UrbanWildlife #NatureInCitites theconversation.com/stepping-stone…
📢 Our new OA research shows spatially targeting new green spaces to connect bigger patches of habitat can maximise investment for #urbanbiodiversity @_ficus explains it nicely! vimeo.com/941090209 🌱🗺️🐝🐦🦗 Paper with @sbekessy @GeorgiaGarrard here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Our cities’ secret gardens: we connect with nature in neglected green spaces just as much as in parks, explain @HughStanford1 and @HollyKirk Read here: theaustraliatoday.com.au/our-cities-sec… @DrAmitSarwal @Pallavi_Aus @rishi_suri @RMIT @JacintaAllanMP @opdwivedi82
More #urbanEcology to help inform #urbanPlanning - hot off the press today! 📰🌿📢🐝🗺️🌱 Stepping stones for wildlife: how linking up isolated habitats can help nature thrive in our cities theconversation.com/stepping-stone… via @ConversationEDU with @_ficus
The tangle of greenery along railway lines, flowers growing on vacant lots, or unmown grassy patches under power lines, it turns out people in cities engage with nature in all these spaces, write researchers from @RMIT. theconversation.com/our-cities-sec…
