Critical Thinking Questions

Increasingly the idea of co-existing with nature in an urban landscape is seen as one of the best tools in our tool box. Do you agree?
Should we encourage more people to follow in Victor’s footsteps and investigate how to use research and planning as a career to reimagine cities as a tool for conservation?
So often Victor’s work looks to improve on the status quo. Should we be using research as a means to not only look at what we don’t know, but help reimagine what we do?
