A global network of cities, academics and advocates, Biophilic Cities&rsquo; aim is to build an understanding of the way urban nature contributes for the better to urban lives. Acknowledging the wide variety of environments and cultures, while recognizing the power of collective vision, Biophilic Cities partners work to conserve and celebrate nature, to enable city inhabitants to benefit from biodiversity, to create shared habitats. 
 
Biophilic city Birmingham launched its City of Nature Plan in February 2022, and currently boasts 631 green spaces including the UK&rsquo;s first urban National Nature Reserve. Edmonton, Canada is connecting its green spaces with wildlife habitats, creating safe traffic-free passages and has River Valley Parks connecting the North Saskatchewan riverbanks via 27 ravines through the heart of the city. Portland, Oregon is known for its high walkability, cyclability, farm-to-table dining&mdash;and one of the highest park-space-per-person ratios in the US. Singapore integrates nature into both horizontal and vertical space with trails networking green spaces and parks, and green roofs and hanging gardens leading to its current motto, &ldquo;Singapore &ndash; City in a Garden&rdquo;.
