The construction industry is keen to expand the role of nature in area development, but the path from ambition to realisation and management is a challenging one. This book looks back to the very first European eco-districts from the final decade of the 20th century and examines what the concept has delivered for residents and nature. It assesses the effectiveness of several pioneering international points systems in Amsterdam, Berlin, London, Malmö, Stockholm, and other cities. Using valuable solutions gleaned from interviews with practitioners in key positions, the authors explore the operation and benefits of such systems and seek ways to make cities more biodiverse.
