The book Urban Jungle. The History and Future of Nature in the City<\/strong><\/em> by Ben Wilson, published for Doubleday, tells of the relationship between nature and the city, putting on the cover the Vertical Forest<\/strong><\/a> (Boeri Studio, 2014), the building-prototype of a new biodiversity architecture that places not just humans but the relationship between humans and other living species at the center.<\/p>\n

Ben Wilson-author of Metropolis, a seven-thousand-year history of cities that the Wall Street Journal called \u201can impressive work\u201d-looks at the difficult relationship between nature and the city to find clues to how the planet can survive in an age of climate crisis.<\/p>\n

Since the beginning of civilization, the author writes, humans have built cities to isolate nature, only to celebrate it in artificial parks within them. Today, urban areas are the fastest growing habitat on Earth, and in the text, Wilson finds that human engineering is not enough to protect us from extreme weather events. Rather, the elements that manage to make the city survive-green foliage, wildflowers, wildlife-are the same elements that help improve the quality of life for its inhabitants.<\/p>\n

In this look at cities of the past and future, Ben Wilson proposes that, in a world of rising seas and weather threats, it is a return to nature that offers cities a way out.<\/p>\n
