Urban wildlife is often still forgotten in the design of cities, In this presentation, given at the AMS conference Reinventing the City 2024, the authors from bureau Witteveen & Bos show wildlife often doesn't show up in data used for the design of cities, and that ecologists are often late to the table. Designing for wildlife, state the authors, is also not just about creating designated spaces for them in seperate area's, but about infrastructures and understanding their behaviour, preferences and mobility amongst residents and visitors throughout the city.
