What this research is about? A brief introduction to the topic. 
In this research paper, the authors argue that bringing nature into the city can serve to 
further break down boundaries. 
That is, in fact, it is good if there is enough natural greenery in the city, but there are 
problems related to the "border". 
This research is based on studies conducted in 
Newcastle, UK, Cape Town, South Africa, 
and Athens, Greece. 
Chosen project: 
H2020 NATURVATION
project which involved studies in certain cities. 
Therefore, it was concluded that "management structures that can support long-term 
management of nature with the benefit of society and appropriate responsibility" are 
needed. The reason is the policy of "economic austerity"! 
P.S.: You can get acquainted with the original and complete form of the text through the

Some explanatory notes to help you understand the topic:
 
So, today there are projects called "bringing nature into the city" as part of "city policy". 
The benefits of "bringing nature to the city" are as follows: 
1) Improves health. 
2) Causes reduction of pollution. 
3) Contributes to the development of a sense of well-being. 
4) Serves in "creating forms of public space" that provide various forms of public interests. 
5) It can be one of the solutions to the problems of climate change. 
6) It is very useful in increasing biodiversity. 
Q: What places are these? Answer: public parks, public camping zones, public parks.
The only problem is that these public forms of urban nature are always somewhat 
"bounded". There is a lack of balance in this "demarcation". 
The reason is "provision of public goods in urban conditions is difficult!"
