FRIDAY, 1 MAY – 11:30 AM
Scientific popularisation meeting
With Terry Hartig, Rogier van Vugt, Laura Gatti, Luigi Latini. Introduction by Francesco Dal Grande
In collaboration with Orticola di Lombardia
Free / Subject to booking

The conference weaves together botanical research, horticultural practice and landscape culture to explore the role of public green spaces in the contemporary city. Drawing on experiences developed across a range of urban contexts—from the evolution of botanical gardens as complex ecosystems capable of positively influencing those who experience them, to the design of green spaces shaped around quality of life—the event offers a reflection of how trees, gardens and flowering landscapes contribute to urban biodiversity and to the creation of more liveable and distinctive city environments.

The conference will be held in English and Italian with simultaneous translation.

It will take place at the Auditorium. Entrance: Prato della Valle 57/C.
