Green Cities by Sheila Boudreau is adapted for the Australian market, offering a vibrant and vividly illustrated non-fiction picture book. It presents a future-facing exploration of the positive actions being taken globally to renew urban spaces and combat climate change—one city at a time.

Green cities are increasingly pivotal in the global effort to address climate change!

From street trees to rooftop farms to rain gardens, green infrastructure capitalises on nature's power to make cities more sustainable and liveable.

This book is filled with examples of nature-inspired innovation and showcases the creative ways green infrastructures are being used in cities worldwide. It highlights the significance of our relationship with nature and provides a practical, hopeful approach to fighting climate change.
