  • THE WILD CITY the Coexistence of Wildlife and Human in Sheffield
    THE WILD CITY The coexistence of wildlife and human in Sheffield 1970 3) 2020 future URBAN DESIGN THESIS PROJECT KEXIN CAI University of Sheffield School of Architecture ARC6982 Urban Design Project 3: Thesis The Wild City Academic Year 2019/2020 Module leader: Dr Beatrice De Carli Coexistence of wildlife and human in Sheffield Kexin Cai Registration no. 190249405 Supervisor: Beatrice De Carli, Cathryn Klasto, Esra Can Thesis submitted to the University of Sheffield in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MA in Urban Design Sheffield, 4 September 2020 Abstract In the UK, over 90% of the population already lives in cities. Human activities heavily impact on living conditions of wildlife and they alter wildlife habitats in cities. It is of great importance to bring wildlife back to cities and build wildlife-inclusive cities where humans and animals can friendly coexist. This thesis design aims to explore and analyze how urban design practitioners could deploy design methods to support wildlife and designing coexistence of human and wildlife in contemporary cities. The design-based research starts with the background context of both United Kingdom and Sheffield, investigating the state and pressures of wildlife. Due to the threatened situation of Willow tit in the UK and Sheffield, the analysis mainly focusses on the state of Willow tit in Sheffield, considering the background and specificity of this species. Then develops the problem statement and research questions in 3 aspects: space, social and management aspect. Next, the research of theoretical background strongly supports the whole thesis. The concept of ‘Care’ plays as a guiding principle in each aspect and ‘rewilding’ is the key practice throughout the development and design, aiming to construct a wildlife-inclusive city in Sheffield.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION Beauchief in Sheffield is a beautiful hillside at the foot of which, near the river Sheaf, and on the still wooded south-western fringes of the city, are the remains of the medieval abbey that housed, from the late twelfth century until the Henrician Reformation, Augustinian canons belonging to the Premonstratensian order. Augustinian canonries were generally modest places, although for reasons that have been persuasively advanced by the late Sir Richard Southern, this fact should never obscure the breadth of their significance in the wider history of medieval urban and rural localities: The Augustinian canons, indeed, as a whole, lacked every mark of greatness. They were neither very rich, nor very learned, nor very religious, nor very influential: but as a phenomenon they are very important. They filled a very big gap in the biological sequence of medieval religious houses. Like the ragwort which adheres so tenaciously to the stone walls of Oxford, or the sparrows of the English towns, they were not a handsome species. They needed the proximity of human habitation, and they throve on the contact which repelled more delicate organisms. They throve equally in the near-neighbourhood of a town or a castle. For the well-to-do townsfolk they could provide the amenity of burial-places, memorials and masses for the dead, and schools and confessors of superior standing for the living. For the lords of castles they could provide a staff for the chapel and clerks for the needs of administration. They were ubiquitously useful. They could live on comparatively little, yet expand into affluence without disgrace.

The land was saved for the public of Sheffield by the great philanthropist, Alderman J.G. Graves. The place we see today is the site of the older ‘Norton Park’ which was a famous location as a so-called ‘picturesque’ landscape in the 1700s and 1800s. With its unrivalled views west to the Peak District, the park was famed for its glorious sunsets and was a place to visit for the enlightened society of the time. Together with the Friends of Graves Park group, we have been investigating to re- discover this ‘lost’ parkland. The present phase of work supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund has now closed. Work so far with the Friends of Graves Park, South Yorkshire Biodiversity Research Group, and Sheffield Hallam University has unearthed a rich diversity of evidence and materials relating to the history of the park and its threatened heritage.
