Dunedin的George Street绿化计划(George Street Greening Project)利用2,500株植物,支持本地昆虫,激励可持续城市设计,将城市街道变成繁荣的城市栖息地。 Dunedin’s George Street greening project transformed a city street into a thriving urban habitat using 2,500 plants, supporting native insects and inspiring sustainable city design.

Dunedin的George Street绿化工程将城市街道变成生物多样性热点, Dunedin’s George Street greening project transformed a city street into a biodiversity hotspot using 2,500 plants from nearly 60 species, over half native, in planters along a shopping district. 超过两年的时间内,昆虫,包括本地黄蜂、甲虫、蜘蛛、苍蝇,以及稀有的地栖甲虫,Scopodes fosulatus, 将该地区殖民化。 Over two years, insects including native wasps, beetles, spiders, flies, and a rare ground-dwelling beetle, Scopodes fossulatus, colonized the area. 种植者根据当地毛利人和市议会的投入设计,以具有不同高度和地面覆盖的区块为特色,充当生态踏脚石。 Designed with input from local Māori and the city council, the planters feature themed blocks with varied heights and ground cover, serving as ecological stepping stones. 该倡议展示了小城市空间如何支持野生生物、改善福祉和激励亲环境行为,为面临绿色空间损失的城市提供了一个可扩展的模式。 The initiative demonstrates how small urban spaces can support wildlife, improve wellbeing, and inspire pro-environmental behavior, offering a scalable model for cities facing green space loss.
