Nature Embodied in the City Landscape: History, Theory and Practice

The efforts of landscape architects, historians, academics, conservationists, and public servants frequently overlap, and when projects arise, they should be in the same room. Urbanist and city planning historian Steven Moga will explore how planning and economic segregation in American cities often relegated immigrants and minorities to lowland areas plagued by flooding and unhealthy living conditions. Landscape architect @dianafernandezbibeau will discuss the connection between landscape ecology and landscape heterogeneity as an opportunity to embrace the concept of difference to build resilient landscapes. Public servant, parks, recreation, and conservation professional Mickey Fearn will share his expertise in innovative community engagement strategies to foster diversity, equity & inclusion. Their short presentations will be followed by an extensive, candid roundtable discussion about the many issues relating to equity and inclusion that landscape architects are working to overcome.

Time: 21:30 BST/4:30 EDT
