"We see a living city as a place that should support a variety of inhabitants, both humans and non-humans. To create a multispecies city we have to accept other species as social beings and acknowledge their agencies. It’s about showing curiosity towards other ways of living. Thereby a living city can never be a monospecies city, it’s a landscape of encounters."
