Urban greening initiatives improve residents’ quality of life, supporting biodiversity, and provide resilience to climate change. By incorporating urban greening objectives into city planning policies, decision makers can create more resilient and prosperity within urban areas. Hear from case studies where vibrant, sustainable developments have been established through planning and policy change.
