Making more from your urban green infrastructure goals
5th November 2026
Online
This workshop brings together councils, architects, housing bodies and innovators to explore how individual departmental goals can be aligned within a broader green infrastructure or net zero ambition. The session is designed to help participants identify shared priorities, uncover synergies, and co-create principles for an integrated approach that strengthens collaboration across departments and organisations.
