What makes a brilliant green space

Join us to discuss what makes a brilliant green space within a town or city.

Brilliant urban green spaces do far more than provide patches of grass or occasional seating. They can support health and wellbeing, connect people to nature, support climate resilience, and bring communities together. But what makes the difference between an ordinary green space and a truly brilliant one—and how can we deliver more of them?

This webinar brings together leading voices from design, community, and practice to explore the vision, impact, and future of urban green space.
