As part of the World Urban Parks Symposium 2026, we’re sharing this presentation by Dr. Yusuf Evren Doğan, exploring how measurable plant quality can support better procurement and long-term park management.
The presentation introduces QPlantScore, an approach that combines plant measurements with criteria weighted by experts to make quality assessments more comparable and transparent. It connects nursery selection with establishment, maintenance and replacement costs, while exploring how digital plant records can preserve information throughout a plant’s life. It also considers future opportunities for artificial intelligence to support measurement and decision-making.
Whether you couldn’t join us in Istanbul or would like to revisit your notes, this material offers insights into using plant data to strengthen the management of urban green infrastructure.
Explore the presentation and discover how measuring plant quality can support more informed decisions from nursery to park.
