As part of the World Urban Parks Symposium 2026, we’re sharing this panel presentation featuring Vitoria Martin, Elif Tanburoğlu, Michael Boland and Carl McClean, exploring how the Green Flag Award framework supports the development of future park leaders.
Reflecting on three decades of the programme, the presentation highlights the role of management plans, mentoring and peer review in strengthening park management. It also explores opportunities for intergenerational knowledge exchange, professional development through the Green Flag Award Academy, and sharing good practice across an international network.
Whether you couldn’t join us in Istanbul or would like to revisit your notes, this material offers an opportunity to consider how documented vision and shared experience can help professionals care for parks over the long term.
Explore the presentation and discover how shared standards, mentoring and global connections can support the next generation of park leaders.
