Urban ethnobotany, an emerging field at the intersection of anthropology and botany, explores the dynamic relationship between city-dwelling humans and plant life. This discipline sheds light on how urban communities, while often seen as from nature, continue to engage with plants for medicinal, nutritional, and cultural . The cities are surprisingly rich in plant biodiversity, with community gardens, potted rooftops, and even spontaneous vegetation in cracks and crevices contributing to an urban green infrastructure. This urban flora is not merely decorative but plays a vital role in the well-being of city residents, offering spaces for , sources of fresh food, and connections to cultural heritage through traditional herbal remedies and cuisines. The study of urban ethnobotany highlights the innovative ways in citizens integrate plant life into their daily routines, challenging the notion of cities as spaces devoid of nature.
