Urban Farm DB summary

This chapter describes urban environments as spaces where other species live and the characteristics of species able to thrive in human-dominated environments. It explores the potential of different modified urban habitats to support biodiversity and how animals respond to urban challenges. The urban landscape consists of numerous small patches of diverse habitats that vary in their capacity to support wildlife populations. Urban agriculture takes many forms, including private gardens, community or allotment gardens, rooftop farms, and urban orchards.
