Adapted for the Australian market, this vividly illustrated non-fiction picture book is a future-facing exploration of the positive action being taken around the world to renew urban spaces and fight climate change - one city at a time.

Green cities are a growing part of the global effort to address climate change!

From street trees to rooftop farms to rain gardens, green infrastructure harnesses the power of nature to make cities both more sustainable and more liveable.

Brimming with examples of nature-inspired innovation and the creative ways that green infrastructure is being used in cities all around the world, this book shows us the importance of our relationship with nature, and offers a practical and hopeful approach to the fight against climate change.
