Chris Fitch speaks to people from around the world with valuable experience of bringing nature into the towns and cities where people live. From the tiny urban forests in Tokyo, to the meandering river channels of Munich, to the star-rich skies of Flagstaff, this limited series will ask how to bring nature into the places we live – and how to create the wild cities of the future. 'Wild Cities: Discovering New Ways of Living in the Modern Urban Jungle' by Chris Fitch, is published by William Collins, and goes on sale April 10 2025

A connection to nature is vital to our wellbeing. The sound of birds, the smell of tree oils, the effects of natural sunlight. Studies have shown that patients who can observe a natural scene through a hospital window recover faster, and lockdown proved that when most other aspects of life falls away, nature still feels like a necessity, not a luxury. But the majority of the world’s population lives in some form of urban environment, and by 2050, two thirds of humanity – nearly 7 billion people – are expected to live in towns and cities.
