All Things Urban

At a time when the American government is backing away from meaningful climate action, it’s critical that local communities prioritize and invest in environmental sustainability. Local leadership on climate is an opportunity to create more connected, resilient and vibrant communities. Investing in sustainability through public spaces is not only about reducing emissions or managing stormwater — it’s about designing civic assets that support both ecological systems and human social connection at the same time.

If you’re interested in creating places of connection in the public realm that can also act as powerful climate infrastructure, don’t miss this webinar — featuring a panel of renowned experts who will share insights from their fields of disaster recovery, landscape architecture and urban park systems.
