How do small-scale greening design and management strategies support urban biodiversity?

Like many others in Hong Kong, I grew up surrounded by the city’s hustle and bustle, largely unaware of the urban wildlife I lived alongside. It wasn’t until I participated in an environmental education program in high school that I discovered the rich biodiversity hidden within my city, sparking my interest in ecology.

As I progressed in my ecological training, I learned of the various benefits a healthy urban ecosystem brings, which are often overlooked by current urban design and management strategies. This motivated me to research how green infrastructure can support biodiversity to create ecologically sustainable cities.
