Joëlle Zask analyzes how cities like London, Mumbai, or New York become the setting for unexpected encounters with foxes, leopards, and coyotes, and reflects on the need to redesign urban spaces to make a harmonious coexistence between people and animals possible. An essay that invites us to rethink our relationship with nature from within the city.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work starts from an increasingly common observation: the presence of wild animals in urban spaces. From foxes in London gardens to leopards on the streets of Mumbai or coyotes in New York parking lots, Zask documents how cities are becoming habitats for species that were traditionally considered alien to the urban environment. The author argues that cities were not designed for the coexistence of humans and wild animals, and that our lifestyle represents a direct threat to nature. From there, she puts forward a profound reflection on how it would be possible to design cities that integrate spaces for wildlife, promoting a more balanced and respectful relationship with the natural environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCoexistence between humans and wildlife in urban environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eUrban design and city planning for the integration of nature.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eImpact of the human lifestyle on ecosystems and wildlife.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe phenomenon of urbanization and its influence on animal species migration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eUrban ecology and new forms of relationship with the natural environment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecommended for people interested in ecology, environmental thought, urbanism, and the philosophy of nature.
