March: Rewilding The City
It's easy to think of wild nature as something that exists outside of cities, but urban cores have enormous potential for nature integration, which is essential to ensure resilience and liveability in a future impacted by climate change. Rethinking how we design cities is an essential part of tackling climate change. This talk explores the need to plan for nature with as much enthusiasm as we have for buildings and demonstrates that urban nature can take many shapes and forms.
Cecilia Lindstrom is a qualified nature conservationist and urban designer with 20 years’ experience of leading large-scale, mixed-use frameworks for change, including comprehensive landscape strategies.
She honed her skills as a long-standing team member at Studio Egret West, where she led numerous projects that sought to revitalise areas in need of change, including the East Wick and Sweetwater Olympic legacy masterplan in Stratford, the Mayfield masterplan in Manchester, and the masterplan for the Zoological Society of London’s two conservation zoos in London and Whipsnade. Cecilia is fascinated by urban greening, and hope to rewild our cities and make people a bit wilder in the process too.
