Green cities?
We tend to think of wildlife as being the wide open spaces - the further from humans the better! However, many towns retain old green spaces, have wildlife corridors, river banks &c.. Which cities are good?
By cities I mean large built-up areas with populations of half million or more ...
For UK I have to say Sheffield: not personal bias - we have lots of ancient woodland, large tree-filled parks, several sizeable river valleys and green spaces right next to the city centre. London has a remarkable amount of semi-natural habitats as well.
My favourite city is Paris but I wouldn't recommend it for greenspace. I have limited experience of Berlin but there seem to be very good green areas, lakes, woods there. Any other suggestions?
