Urban Wilderness
Urban Wilderness can be defined as the exploration of natural forms, materials, and processes within the context of an urban environment. The aim is to make use of a city's existing physical and ecological resources to create a more vibrant, sustainable, and livable urban environment. This could be done through the use of green infrastructure, urban agriculture, green roofs, vertical gardens, and other urban design methods. By incorporating elements of wilderness into the urban landscape, we can create a richer, more diverse urban environment and reduce the impacts of urban living on the natural environment.

Urban Wilderness
Urban wilderness is an interdisciplinary field that seeks to integrate wildlife and urban environments. It is a design and architecture solution that applies principles of ecology and urbanism to create urban habitats that are beneficial to both people and wildlife. The goal is to create a more sustainable urban environment by providing a healthier ecosystem that includes both human beings and wild creatures. Urban wilderness involves a range of approaches, including green roofs, urban greenways, green infrastructure, and rainwater catchment. These approaches allow for the introduction of natural features and habitats into cities, improving urban livability, providing environmental benefits, and allowing for the coexistence of humans and wildlife in a single environment.
