Enhancing Urban Ecology for the City of Melbourne
City of Melbourne is driving an ecosystem-based climate adaptation program with a goal to double urban forest canopy cover and increase permeability to cool the city’s summertime temperatures by 4°C. This presentation will reflect on how the City of Melbourne is implementing a transformative program of works to create climate resilient urban landscapes that support healthy ecosystems and healthy communities. In particular, it will focus on the role of citizen participation and transparency in co-designing plans to turn the world’s most liveable city into a city within a forest.
