Urban Jungle reexamines centuries of interaction between cities and the natural world, tracing how urban societies have tried to exclude, tame, and then reinvent nature within city limits.

The book looks across history and around the globe to show how parks, street trees, and managed landscapes shaped city life — and how a new generation of urban design uses farms, forests, and green infrastructure to make cities more resilient.

Clear and wide-ranging, the narrative links past patterns to present climate challenges and imagines practical, nature-forward strategies for future cities.
