3. “Part of the great pleasure of living in a city is discovering the many forms of nature in unexpected places. Some of this nature is designed, of course, but much of it is simply extant, and resiliently co-adapting to urban conditions…Over the course of a day there are typically numerous opportunities to be surprised (pleasantly) by the nature around us, as it appears and disappears from view (a bird, a mushroom, a flower), and appears again, dependig on season, weather, and on the pathways and routes we choose to travel. Discovery and surprise, the possibility of epiphanous moments of delight, are part of what makes living in a biophilic city so much fun.” (Prof. Tim Beatley, 13 October 2014, http://biophiliccities.org)Wales Green Infrastructure Forum October 2017Natural Capital – as the Essential Baseline for Growth in Cities
