ILI CPD Webinar | Resilient Urban spaces, nature, and people by Zac Tudor, Arup (Jan 2026)

Описание: Resilient Urban spaces, nature, and people - combining design, functionality, and sociability for liveable, healthy cities by Zac Tudor, Associate Director, Landscape and Place Resilience - Arup

In this talk, Zac Tudor looks at how multifunctional nature-based design solutions can create resilient and adaptive urban centres, which help bring together people, nature, and the environment. We will consider some of the principles for achieving these solutions, looking at sustainable functional soils alongside new adaptive urban plant communities which, together, deliver more sustainable long-term habitats. We will conclude with how these approaches can deliver the wider benefits for people, the environment, and look at how these can deliver us financial incentives.
