This is episode 2 of 6 in the podcast series on urban rewilding.

My guest is Sophie Thompson, a landscape architect and Director at LDA Design.

In this episode we discuss:

• How wild nature can be brought into city streets and public spaces
• The importance of working closely with local communities
• Examples of LDA’s transformations of highly urban spaces into places for people and nature.
• How to manage the complexities and constraints of working in cities.
