Rewild My Street provides design-led guidance for people wishing to adapt their homes, gardens and streets to encourage wildlife. Inspiring images show how to integrate wildlife features into a typical urban setting. Links to stylish products and step-by-step activities show how to achieve this, while species and habitat information highlight the value of making these changes.

Rewild My Street seeks to reverse the trend of city streets going grey. It started in London, where 2.5 Hyde parks of green space are lost each year through changes to private gardens. The project is a National Park City Maker, supporting the Mayor of London and National Park City Foundation in making the capital the world's first National Park City to become a better place for people and wildlife.

Rewild My Street is a design-research project based at London Metropolitan University's Cities research group and Centre for Urban and Built Ecologies . The project enables practice-based action research, exploring urban rewilding as a means to address biodiversity and greenspace decline, while promoting sustainable redevelopment of cities. The project has generated academic papers on themes including city representation, generosity in architectural practice, the benefits of living with nature, perceptions of wildness and environmental behaviour change.

Founder Siân Moxon advocates a new definition of 'urban rewilding' to avoid misunderstanding and communicate its full potential: 'urban rewilding = increasing green and blue space in towns and cities to enhance biodiversity, and create an urban ecosystem for climate-change resilience and human wellbeing'. Take a typical urban residential street. Adapt its terraces, gardens and streetscape to transform it into a haven for wildlife.
