Climate change, urbanisation and other factors threaten the living conditions of species worldwide. In view of this, there are increasing calls for cities (and other hitherto exclusively human spaces) to be understood as "shared habitats" and for hitherto purely social-scientific concepts such as right to the city or environmental justice to be thought of as "more-than-human". The project takes this up and asks in a fundamental way how society-wildlife relations in the urban context can be taken into account by human geography. Accordingly, the three guiding questions are: 1) What are conceptually justifiable and empirically realisable starting points for the analysis of shared habitats in the urban context? 2) Can initial empirical findings be identified on the main factors influencing society-wildlife relations in urban space? 3) How can human-geographical concepts and methods of society-space analysis be transferred to society-animal relations and where are the limits? Three analytical categories are proposed for analysis: Othering asks how social discourses problematise wild urban animals. Governing asks how such attributions are reflected in concrete policies, and Resistance looks at the "resistances" of everyday practice - of the animals themselves, but especially of human-wildlife encounters - that challenge discourses and policies and produce new forms of knowledge concerning the city as a horny habitat. The viability of the categories is tested by applying them to two very contrasting "groups" of wild animals: Abject animals as the classic outside of urban society (pigeons, rats, invasive species) and protected animals, which are addressed in various ways as desirable co-inhabitants. The case study is Frankfurt am Main.

气候变化、城市化和其他因素威胁着全世界物种的生存条件。有鉴于此，越来越多的人呼吁将城市（以及迄今为止仅属于人类的空间）理解为“共享栖息地”，并将迄今为止纯粹的社会科学概念（例如城市权或环境正义）视为“超越人类”。该项目从根本上探讨了人文地理学如何考虑城市背景下的社会与野生动物关系。因此，三个指导性问题是：1）在城市背景下分析共享栖息地的概念上合理且经验上可实现的起点是什么？ 2）能否确定影响城市空间社会与野生动物关系的主要因素的初步实证结果？ 3）人文地理学的概念和社会空间分析的方法如何转化为社会动物关系，其局限性在哪里？提出了三个分析类别进行分析： 其他问题询问社会话语如何对城市野生动物提出问题。治理询问这些归因如何反映在具体政策中，而抵抗则着眼于日常实践的“抵抗”——动物本身，尤其是人类与野生动物的遭遇——挑战话语和政策并产生关于城市的新形式的知识作为角质栖息地。这些类别的可行性是通过将它们应用于两个截然不同的野生动物“群体”来测试的：作为城市社会之外的经典动物（鸽子、老鼠、入侵物种）和受保护动物，根据需要以各种方式处理这些动物同居者。案例研究是美因河畔法兰克福。
