What roles can urban green space play in
sustainable and resilient urban form? How can we
advance an agenda for green space values in New
Zealand cities? This course will provide a “talk and
walk” examination of this important component of
urban form and function.
If your work involves cycling or walking advocacy,
transport infrastructure, health promotion, children’s
health, community development or urban design,
this course is for you.
Topics covered include:
• Introduction to NZ green spaces and their values
• Green space and health in the city
• Urban green space and the development of
community
• City-focused guest presentations and case studies
from NZ and Australia
• Planning for and designing optimised urban green
space networks.
