A guide to urban environmental action: taking the imaginative approach to raising awareness
The ultimate guide aimed at those interested in urban environmental action, from the concerned individual, through to project officers with responsibility for encouraging community action.
The key to successful city greening is community action. Urban conservation is all about local people doing something in their own locality with their neighbours, friends, workmates or club members, often with a knock-on benefit to the rest of the community.
The Urban Handbook subjects
Community involvement
A look at some important questions about any group or community project - setting up a group, involving others, and some activities you can run.
People and urban spaces
The interaction of people and urban green space, including perceptions of green spaces, the way we use them and how much we care about them.
Urban habitats
The practical aspects of planning, creating and managing projects, including an introduction to various habitats and their management.
