Building resilient cities by restoring connectivity in urban ecosystems | Andrew Gonzalez

Urban ecosystems provide many benefits to human populations. When urban development disconnects ecosystems, it erodes biodiversity and ultimately the resilience of the city. Andrew Gonzalez, Professor of Biodiversity Science at McGill University, explains how it is possible to plan the future development of cities in ways that reconnect ecological links and nodes, and recover resilience over time. http://www.weforum.org/
