Reimagining the Interstices of the City

The very spaces around and between the buildings and streets in a city represent many other opportunities to inject and insert natural wildness. If there is any nature at all in these spaces it is often turfgrass or mowed spaces, not especially wild or biophilic. Yet side yards and backyards and urban strips of land of various kinds could be places for the most creative urban nature interventions.
