当城市变得更绿色，很多不破坏生态平衡的设计里，隐藏着招惹极具危险的不速之客们进入的危险：它们就是蚊子。研究者卡梅伦·韦伯 （Cameron Webb）解释了为什么城市设计者和普通百姓们需要了解蚊子——这个星球上最致命的动物——为了避免将来由这些讨厌的昆虫所携带而引发的疾病爆发。

Making cities greener and more livable can unintentionally create perfect conditions for mosquitoes, the deadliest animals on earth. As climate change pushes us to plant more trees and conserve water, features like rainwater tanks and wetlands can become mosquito breeding grounds. Each year, half a million people die from mosquito-borne diseases, while millions more endure illness and nuisance bites. Designing and maintaining healthy urban ecosystems is crucial to avoid new outbreaks and keep public spaces enjoyable.
