SUCCESSFUL URBAN INTERVENTION FOR BIODIVERSITY IMPROVEMENT
🏙️ Over the past two years, Dunedin's city center has become greener and more biodiverse thanks to the installation of street-side planters.
🐞 This change, though modest, proves popular with a range of insects that have moved in even though the city center remains dominated by gray non-permeable surfaces.
🌇 This real-world example shows that urban dwellers with limited green spaces can still have a positive impact on urban biodiversity through the use of planters and raised garden beds.
🪴 The upgrade of Dunedin's George Street comprises three consecutively installed blocks, each with a slightly different theme. The first block is dominated by native plants, the second features more flowering species, and the third has a mixture of both.
