Biophilic Cities Webinar: Innovative Parks

Biophilic Cities Webinar: Innovative Parks

  • Tuesday, May 12, 2026 · 12:00pm - 1:30pm

Free Zoom Webinar

Please join us on May 12, 12-130pm ET for a Biophilic Cities webinar that will explore how parks are evolving into multifunctional, community-driven, and biodiverse spaces.

As cities grow and community needs diversify, parks are no longer just spaces for recreation — they are buffers for climate adaptation, hubs for social connectivity, ecosystems for native plants and animals, and economic catalysts. This session will bring together planners, designers, and park managers to examine the priorities shaping innovative parks today.

Panelists:
+ Carol Coletta (Bloomberg Public Innovation Fellow) | Tom Lee Park (Memphis)
+ Shannon Baker (Waterfront Toronto) and Netami Stuart (City of Toronto) | Biidaasige Park (Toronto)
+ Lewis Stringer (Presidio Trust) | The Presidio (San Francisco)
+ Kate Pearce (Dix Park Conservancy) | Dix Park (Raleigh)

Moderator:
+ Tim Beatley, Biophilic Cities
