Many people think of cities and nature as two different things. However, some cities around the world are trying new and creative ways to bring nature and wildlife into city areas.
In order to make better use of city gardens, places like Los Angeles in the US make community gardens. The gardens serve the community in many ways. In city farms, people grow vegetables to sell at markets with the money going to people in need. In the educational gardens, people are taught how to eat healthily.
In Edmonton, Canada, more than twelve wildlife bridges have been built. One of the largest is a 30-meter-long bridge near Big Lake in the northwest of the city. It's a good way to protect animals' habitats(栖息地).
A "sponge city"(海绵城市)is a city to deal with floods. How does it work? Just as a sponge can absorb(吸收)water, a sponge city can deal with heavy rain. Wuhan is one of China's first cities to start the project. By the end of 2020, 20% area of the city has been covered by sponges. In 2030, the number will rise to 80%. There are now more than 30 "sponge cities" in China, including Jinan and Xiamen.

Many of the stories you read in comic books are first written as scripts. The writer includes many details to help the artist visualise(构思;设想) the story before he or she makes the first sketches for the book. |
