This book provides a first overview of the phemonemon of post-industrial urban wilderness: urban landscapes once shaped by heavy industry that are being re-colonized naturally by forests. These new types of urban woodlands are often overlooked by ecologists, foresters and planners. Individual chapters consider urban woodlands from the perspectives of ecology, environmental sociology, forestry, nature conservation and landscape architecture.

"This book is about the ‘new wilderness’ arising on abandoned urban-industrial areas through out the world. Some of these areas ... can be vast. A series of articles identifies the rise of urban woodlands, public attitudes towards them, the findings of ecological studies, and how different perspectives have been integrated into policy and management strategies. Case studies ... illustrate the conceptual and scientific approaches used to identify, study, and manage urban woodlands. Useful for urban foresters and planners." (Northeastern Naturalist, Vol. 13 (1), 2006)
"The book successfully bring together the ecological, social, cultural/historical, and design issues and perspectives inherent in the topic of wild urban woodlands - a particular component of the urban forest matrix described as ‘new wilderness’. … And by providing vivid images and stories, as well as thoughtful integration and insights, it is a book that should prove itself interesting to both the casual reader and the topical scholar." (R. Riemann, Landscape Ecology, Vol. 22, February, 2007)
“This attractively produced collection of papers emerged from a conference on ‘Wild forests in the City’ held in Dortmund, Germany in 2003. … addresses the values of forests that have regenerated spontaneously on abandoned industrial sites in Germany. … I like this book, it is well edited and comprehensively referenced – for anyone seeking an entry into the fascinating world of urban forests it will be useful. For those concerned with spontaneous woodland development in cities it provides a comprehensive and technically sound review.” (Jeffrey Sayer, International Forestry Review, Vol. 7 (3), September, 2005)
