European cities attach great importance to nature and biodiversity. As most European countries started urbanization process earlier, many of them have accumulated rich experience in urban natural environments conservation. At the EU level, a series of policies such as the Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 have been issued. In Netherlands, the New Strategy of Randstad put forward the concept of Greenheart Metropolis; In Germany, the Master Plan of Urban Nature (Masterplan Stadtnatur) was proposed. At the city level, Biodiversity Plan for 2025-2030 (Le Plan Biodiversité 2025-2030) of Paris, Mayor’s Biodiversity Strategy Update of London, and Action program of Berlin’s Urban green 2030 (Handlungsprogramm Berliner Stadtgrün 2030) all demonstrate a strong emphasis on urban nature conservation in the city development.
For cites in China, Europe, and even countries all over the world, it is a key task in spatial planning to find better approaches to protect nature in different gradients of urban areas, to enhance urban residents' perception and love for nature, and thus to achieve the coexistence between man and nature in urban developments.
The Sino-European workshop on Conservation and Perception of Urban Nature targets to support and promote the exchanges between China and Europe regarding urban nature. Invited are scientists from European and Chinese cities, local decision makers and gardeners from Istanbul to share their respective research and practices in the fields of urban nature conservation and perception. The workshop will be followed by a dialogue session in the 5th International SURE Conference discussion the outcome of the workshop in a broader forum. With the Sino-European workshop and dialogue, we are also looking forward to establishing deeper exchanges among the Society for Urban Ecology (SURE), the Research Center of Territorial and Spatial Planning (CSP), Ministry of Natural Resources of PRC and other Sino-European partners such as Tongji University in China, Yildiz Technical University in Turkey, Hildesheim University in Germany, and others.
