About corse

Urban areas are witnessing a significant transformation as cities strive to integrate green infrastructure into their planning and development strategies. The concept of urban green infrastructure encompasses a network of natural and semi-natural features that provide essential ecosystem services, enhance the aesthetic value of urban landscapes, and improve the overall quality of life for residents. This course aims to equip participants with a comprehensive understanding of the principles, benefits, and best practices associated with the design and implementation of urban green infrastructure. By exploring innovative approaches and real-world case studies, attendees will gain insights into how to effectively incorporate green spaces into urban settings. The need for sustainable urban development has never been more pressing, as challenges such as climate change, urban heat islands, and biodiversity loss necessitate proactive measures. Participants will engage in hands-on activities and collaborative discussions, fostering a rich learning environment that encourages the application of theoretical knowledge to practical situations.
