Städer får allt fler värden att tillgodose på sina grönytor. Biologisk mångfald, dagvattenhantering, rekreation och klimatanpassning ska hanteras – inte sällan parallellt med att det pågår en förtätning. Detta medför ökade krav på planer, gestaltning och inte minst för förvaltning och skötsel av parker och andra grönområden. Naturanpassad grönyteskötsel syftar till att bevara biologisk mångfald, m
