Talk overview: All master planning and design needs to effectively synthesise carbon management alongside other ecosystem goods and services in an integrated and holistic way, informed by evidence. From creating functioning connected habitat networks, regenerating soils and natural flood management, to contributing to the character of a place and creating healthy and hospitable environments in extreme temperatures, Natural capital has a critical role. In his talk, Ian will provide an overview of recent projects that have adopted an ecosystems approach to planning and design. - Coming soon...
