As part of the World Urban Parks Symposium 2026, we’re sharing this presentation by Eric Tamulonis and Bishop Ngobeli, exploring how ambitious park projects are reshaping cities around the world.
Through international examples, the presentation examines the transformation of former airports, industrial sites and infrastructure corridors into public landscapes. It considers their potential to support climate resilience, biodiversity and recreation, alongside questions about funding, governance and equitable access. It also addresses the risks of displacement and the need to extend investment to underserved communities, particularly in rapidly growing cities.
Whether you couldn’t join us in Istanbul or would like to revisit your notes, this material invites reflection on how major park projects can respond to urban challenges while serving the people who need them most.
Explore the presentation and discover how MegaParks can create new breathing rooms for cities while advancing a more inclusive urban future.
