- This handbook is a comprehensive guide to practical environmental work in urban areas. Urban areas include habitats which are more diverse than those found in intensively farmed countryside. Parks, gardens, allotments, recreation areas, industrial sites, 'brownfield' land and school grounds have a huge potential for local community involvement. These are areas where people can come together to create the type of environment that they want, and put into action their own ideas on community gardens, recycling, safe play areas and other green issues. The Urban Handbook combines discussion of ways to promote local action with practical details on many of the skills needed to bring these ideas to fruition.
