The International Association
of Horticultural Producers, AIPH, is the world’s Champion for the Power of
Plants.
Through their Green
City programme, AIPH uses knowledge exchange, advocacy, and networking to
increase the quality and quantity of living green in urban spaces; motivating
the multifunctional benefits that this delivers to people and the planet.
The AIPH 2021
International Green City conference on 22 April
is a chance to inspire people, organisations, city councils and government
administrations to join this challenging movement and lead global thinking on
the successful integration of nature into the built environment. As part
of AIPH’s Green City programme, the conference is offered free-of-charge to
registered delegates.
The coronavirus
pandemic brought issues around the planning of our urban spaces into sharper
focus. Some people living across the urban landscape could escape the confines
of lockdown and connect with nature to enjoy the benefits of good greenspaces.
While for others, the crisis highlighted the fact that some built-up areas have
insufficient quality greenspaces.
For our health and
wellbeing, for tackling biodiversity loss, for our battle with climate change,
new look urban areas are surely the way forward.
At the AIPH 2021 Green
City Conference, you will hear about international
innovations and advances in city greening from ‘Champions of Green Cities’ - a
line-up of expert international speakers who can positively demonstrate that
transforming our cities from grey to green need not be an unrealistic quest,
but a practical solution.
Launching at the AIPH
2021 Green City conference is the AIPH World Green
City Awards which celebrate cities that show
leadership and innovation in bringing more living green into their city.
The ongoing impact of
safety measures against coronavirus means that rather than a physical
international conference, the event will operate using the multi-faceted Hopin
platform to host this online international conference, where delegates from
around the world can meet in real-time.
