Bringing Nature into the City: Place and Health in the time of COVID-19

• Climate change
• Healthy places
• Parks & green spaces
• Plants & trees

This set of CPD sessions examines the landscape-led response to the COVID-19 crisis. The issue of how we use, design and manage highways and green spaces has rarely been so prominent in the public mind. From reusing street space to investing in city farms, Landscape, the journal of the Landscape Institute, examines these topics and – for the first time ever – invites some of its writers to share their views with a live audience.

Led by expert speakers from across the globe, gain an insight into:

• Global public realm pandemic responses, with examples from the USA, Scandinavia, India and Germany
• The role and state of parks – and the impact of closing a national park in British Columbia
• Healthy play and international comparisons on the design of playgrounds and forest schools
• Responses to the need to change highway layouts and the space allocated to cyclists and pedestrians
• The impact of a city farm on economically deprived communities
