When cities are tested, can parks be the green anchors that hold us together?

This webinar will run through the basics of Urban Resilience and its relevance to World Parks design and management.

We will introduce the theoretical framework underpinning planned urban resilience, the complexities faced by the resilience officer and the role of nature based solutions (SBN) in making parks -and therefore cities- more resilient in a context of sudden change.
