Making Urban Nature is a book with examples about nature-inclusive designing in European cities. It calls for the integration of the living conditions found in nature in the designs of buildings and outdoor spaces and includes practical examples and design suggestions.

One of the projects in the book is Tree Museum Wateringse Veld, The Hague, by heman de vries for which I supplied a photograph in the book. Other projects in this book are Brown Roof Laban Dance Center, London, by Herzog & De Meuron and Vogt Landscape Architects, Eden Bio, Paris by Maison Éduard François and Crinkle Crankle Wall Distripark Eemhaven, Rotterdam by Krijn Giezen & Roel Bakker.
