Building Better Cities With Nature

Evening Forum

Can people have meaningful encounters with nature in a densely developed city and what are the measurable benefits? The Handbook of Biophilic City Planning & Design argues nature in our cities serves far more than just infrastructural and aesthetic purposes. Hear from one of the world’s foremost designers of sustainable communities and learn how planners and architects can, and should, place nature at the core of their planning and design ideas.
