Rethinking how we design cities is an essential part of tackling climate change.
During this talk, urban nature will be showcased using a variety of examples with the message that we need to plan for nature with as much enthusiasm as we have for buildings.
It's easy to think of wild nature as something that exists outside of cities, but urban cores have enormous potential for nature integration, which is essential to ensure resilience and liveability in a future impacted by climate change.
