Join this webinar briefing by AIPH to discover how plants and planting can create a sense of place in urban parks. The use and engagement of urban parks is intrinsically linked to how people feel when they are there.
Plants play an important role in showing local habitat, creating and changing with the seasons and providing a sense of identity to an area. Hear from world leading experts and AIPH partner World Urban Parks.
Programme

13:10 – ‘Plants and Placemaking – the potential for plant species to drive the identity and character of urban spaces’ – Andrew Grant, Founder and Director of Grant Associates
Placemaking as a discipline is a relatively recent concept in the built development world and is typically associated with developing cultural, commercial and social strategies for new projects that have the potential to create a particular identity of a neighbourhood or a specific development project. But what if that identity and character is driven by plants?
