Hedgehog-Inspired Network Restores Urban Eco-ConnectionsUrban Living Library – Reclaiming the Hedgehog Habitat by Fengyi Wu explores how landscape architecture can support biodiversity while creating meaningful spaces for people in the contemporary city.
The project proposes an interconnected network of habitats, ecological corridors, gardens and outdoor learning spaces, transforming underused urban landscapes into environments that support both wildlife and everyday public life.
Rather than separating ecological infrastructure from human activity, the proposal brings the two together through planting, water, shelter and carefully designed public spaces.
Dense planting, wildlife shelters, rainwater landscapes and sheltered gathering spaces create a sequence of environments that allow people to experience urban nature while providing resources for wildlife.
