Secret Life of the City
Come along on an informative, whirlwind tour of urban species—from intelligent crows to backyard lichens—and discover that you are surrounded by wild nature, even in your own backyard. When biologist Hanna Bjørgaas spots a fairy cup lichen in Antarctica, she is surprised to recognize it from her own backyard in Oslo. When she returns home, she embarks on a journey into urban nature, visiting city parks, cemeteries, and concrete rooftops to investigate the species that live in urban spaces.

Grön infrastruktur i urbana miljöer
Grön infrastruktur i urbana miljöer är en högaktuell fråga i de nordiska länderna eftersom den höga urbaniseringstakten innebär att allt mer naturmark tas i anspråk för byggnationer och infrastruktur i form av till exempel vägar. Vid planering av ny bebyggelse behöver möjligheterna att återskapa natur och öka biologisk mångfald beaktas. Eftersom människors hälsa främjas av vistelse i naturen samt att en stor andel av befolkningen föredrar att bo naturnära finns här en win-win situation att ta till vara. I denna rapport ger vi exempel på fyra olika koncept som kan användas vid stadsplanering för att gynna och stärka grön infrastruktur. Vi ger också en rad konkreta exempel på lyckade projekt i urbana miljöer och gör en analys av hur de har stärkt ekosystemtjänster och därmed grön infrastruktur.
