Biodiverse Cities. Policies, Plans, Projects and Processes of Co-Creation is a scholarly volume, with a popular slant, that explores the role of disciplines engaged in the transformation of the environment and land in the conservation, restoration and enhancement of urban biodiversity. Through the voices of NBFC researchers, along with contributions from scholars, planners, public administrators and policymakers, the text analyzes good practices, obstacles and crucial issues related to the challenge of promoting biodiversity in Italian cities, offering a choral reflection on co-creation processes that can make urban spaces more sustainable and vital.

A first part frames the issue of biodiversity in cities in Italy from the perspective of planning and design. Then, four sections investigate research outcomes with reference to policies, plans, projects and co-creation processes for urban biodiversity, integrating, each, an introductory text, the narrative of two or three case studies and good practices, and a commentary text; a final section investigates the public debate on the issue.
