VoorproeversWaarom natuur in de stad zo belangrijk isBent Van Looy praat met Nadina Galle over haar boek 'De natuur van onze steden'. Nadina Galle woonde als kind aan een bosrand in Canada. Een gelukkige tijd, maar door de snelle urbanisatie veranderde de bosrand in stadsrand. 56 procent van de mensen op aarde woont intussen in steden, dat aantal zal alleen nog toenemen. Groen kan steden leefbaar houden: bomen zijn buffers tegen overstromingen, extreme hitte en bosbranden. Galle vertelt hoe technologie de natuur kan terugbrengen in de stad.2024-12-0323 min
