Free Urban Greening & SuDS CPD
As cities face increasing challenges around climate resilience, biodiversity loss and urban wellbeing, green infrastructure is becoming an essential part of the built environment.
Drawing on years of practical experience delivering rain gardens, SuDS planters, living walls, parklets, green roofs and biophilic design schemes, we provide a comprehensive introduction to the principles, benefits and implementation of green infrastructure. We will discuss how greening systems can be designed for various purposes, such as biodiversity, biophilia or air quality.
Through real-world case studies, technical guidance and practical insights, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how urban greening can enhance public spaces, support planning objectives and create healthier, more resilient environments. Participants will also receive a CPD certificate upon completion.
