"From 2014, we have been taking part in a project in city planning for urban
biodiversity in Fukutsu city, Japan. Our lab (Keitaro Ito laboratory, Kyushu
Institute of Technology) has been directing the project in collaboration with
Fukutsu city and high school students from Fukuoka Koryo high school and
Fukuoka fishery high school. The project’s origins result from the city
government’s desire to make environmental planning part of the basic city
planning, resting on the ecological characteristics of the city."
Great project. Let's hope more places follow suit. Via Colin Mackay.
