Professor Michael Hardman ‘Greening the City: Growing an Urban Revolution’

With populations rising and more people living in cities than ever before, there is an urgent need to rethink our urban spaces. We are now witnessing more interest in the connection between nature and the built environment, particularly in the wake of the pandemic. This lecture takes the audience on a journey: from exploring revolutionary forms of green activism, such as guerrilla gardening, to how large-scale urban farming can transform our cityscapes. Through reflecting on his work in North America, Africa and Europe, Mike reveals radical ways we can reshape our urban landscapes and create more sustainable cities for future generations.
