The LIFE UrbanGreeningPlans project is coming to an end! To share the wealth of experience collected by the participating cities and Periurban Parks, project partners are excited to invite you to the closing conference in Barcelona.

About the Conference “Greening Towards Urban Resilience”

• Date: 14 – 15 March
• Location: Citilab Cornellà  (https://www.citilab.eu/), Plaça de Can Surís, s/n, 08940, Cornellà de Llobregat

Nature-based Solutions can support urban areas in responding and adapting to climate change. To do so efficiently, learning from Periurban Parks, working across city departments and communicate efficiently is essential. The different project partners of the programme have been working across these areas to lead the way in urban greening. This work, accompanied by expert interventions and field trips, await participants of the conference. Participation is free of charge.

At this final conference of LIFE UrbanGreeningPlans, we will bring together people from different disciplines to reflect on urban greening, sharing best practice case studies and working towards a common framework. To do so, we will take into account multiple scales and angles. We will consider a wide range of urban ecosystems, from urban forests, parks, blue and green corridors, to others. Furthermore, we will consider the actual contexts of climate change, rapid urbanization and social uncertainty.

• How can we further enhance ecosystem services in our cities?
• How can green spaces contribute to urban resilience?
• How can we incorporate urban greening at different levels of government?

Those are the questions we will answer during this high-level event.

During two days, Conference participants will enjoy a highly interactive programme. From the presentation of the different project actions in the cities of Athens, Barcelona, Brussels, Milan and Lisbon, to thought-provoking keynote speakers, the event will have no shortage of inspiration for decision makers and urban planners across Europe.
