Why is it important?
The research points out possibilities of new collaborations in solving current urban issues. Linking natural resources to bigger urban strategies can inspire new solutions for related problems of urban growth, heritage management, nature conservation and climate change
Perspectives
The paper serves as an initial exploration of the subject, pointing out the need for further synergies between diverse expertise both from the cultural and environmental sectors in solving complex urban issues. I believe there are too many complex city problems, too little collaborative work happening!
