City of Tartu, Estonia

Multispecies city

Urban nature is mainly valued for its human-centered aesthetics and preferences, which may not align with the needs of non-human species. Community gardens and biodiversity-friendly gardening practices support a variety of local and native species and their living environments and empower and support local communities socially and economically. LL Tartu promotes co-creative activities that raise awareness about the role of nonhuman species through different forms of participation. Through these, it identifies ways to enhance the consideration of the diversity of species in city planning, various activities related to green spaces, and a sense of place.
