Across the world, cities are bringing back nature to help
address urban challenges. We are healthier when we are closer to
nature. We have a greater respect for the environment that sustains
us. We are more adaptable to change when we let nature do its
work.
Join us for a free presentation by Dr. Timothy Beatley,
renowned expert in sustainable city planning and author of the book BiophilicCities. Dr. Beatley is the Teresa Heinz Professor of Sustainable
Communities, in the Department of Urban and Environmental Planning, School of
Architecture at the University of Virginia, where he has taught for the last
twenty-five years. He will share his experience and knowledge of cities
across the world that have made strides to integrate nature into our
neighborhoods and communities.
