Biodiversity in urban areas

In many green spaces within settlement areas, adapted mowing is already being carried out to create habitats for insects. This is not yet the case in all areas, and there are sometimes shortcomings in its implementation. Through dialogue with those responsible for green spaces, the ‘Biodiversity in Built-up Areas’ lab aims to identify obstacles that stand in the way of even wider and more effective implementation of meadow management and to develop recommendations for action.

The lab is dedicated to exploring how the implementation of measures to promote insect diversity in green spaces within urban areas can be scaled up and improved in terms of quality. The aim is to identify existing barriers and develop solutions to overcome them.

In collaboration with representatives from local authorities and government bodies, as well as committed members of the public, concrete approaches are being developed to optimise the promotion of insect diversity in urban green spaces. This will be achieved through the analysis of technical and psychological aspects. Together with practitioners, practical recommendations for the management of urban green spaces that promote biodiversity are being developed. The aim is to make cities more liveable and ecologically diverse.
