A walk in the park? The park systems that help shape our cities, cultures, and civic identities
Professor Andy Lowe and Matthew Skjonsberg
Whether they be nature parks in cities or urban areas in nature, what’s the process for navigating how cities and nature come together? How do people use and move through these spaces? Host Prof Andy Lowe is joined by Matthew Skjonsberg, Director of the Praxis Institute in Switzerland, and author of Living Cities: Three Centuries of Years of Park Systems to explore the rich cultural history of park systems, as well as the challenges facing people in their stewardship of both cities and parks moving forward.
Eco Futurists is supported by the Environment Institute at the University of Adelaide.
