Realising the green city
A five-lecture series culminates on Wednesday 16 November with a panel discussion on ‘Realising the green city’...
The debate, which takes place at The Garden Museum in Lambeth, south London, will look at how current thinking on green infrastructure is influencing landscape, and how we can create the idea of the green city.
The panel will be made up of Kim Wilkie, CMLI, of Kim Wilkie Associaties; Chris Young, editor of The Garden; and Anne Coombs, FLI, landscape architect.
The audience will also be asked for their opinions on how we can realise the green city, and what demands we should be making of government in order to achieve this. If you'd like to ask the panel a question, please use the comment facility below this article.
The lectures are supported by English Heritage and Landscape Forms, and will be held at the Garden Museum on Lambeth Palace Road, London. Tickets for the lectures are now available here. But be quick – the previous lectures have all sold out!

I have been researching how the land character on the earth have changed effected by human.
There are so many issues about conserving this world in order to keep the great nature and remaining the lands.
I wonder how much differ it can make by focusing on creating GreenCity considering green infrastructure rather than conserving the rest.I wonder where the most of the focus is in creating green infrastructures should be? Is it the reminder of nature? Or is it something more functional?
