A recipe for greener cities - Urban GreenScapes Symposium programme now confirmed!
With a mix of international speakers and Australian experts, the Symposium programme will focus on the following three areas:
1) Environment – What are the key environmental benefits to urban planting, who has quantified them and how do we place value on these benefits?
2) Health and wellbeing – What are the key health benefits that plants and GreenScapes add to individuals and the wider community?
3) Urban planning - What are the planning barriers that are impacting on having increased canopy cover in our increasingly populated urban area?
The Symposium will culminate in a panel discussion in the final session. This will invite input from the audience to agree on the actions needed in Australia to increase the canopy cover in our increasingly populated urban areas. A white paper will be developed from the Symposium to present to government.
