Urban planning, climate change and nature conservation: How can we avoid planning for failure?

Join us for an interdisciplinary seminar about the nature of our cities and urban areas - as habitats for many species, including humans. The theme encompasses the challenges posed by climate change in an urban setting. How do we plan, predict and manage in this dynamic environment? What philosophies underpin the way we think about nature in cities?
