Even before the global pandemic struck a year ago, biophilic design, hydroponics and green infrastructure were increasingly hot topics in urban design. However the impact of the pandemic and the subsequent series of rolling lockdowns worldwide have raised widespread awareness among citizens, politicians and planners of the importance of nature for urban health and well-being. In this first meeting of our green building community we explore emerging impacts from the pandemic and the implications of this for the green infrastructure community.

Richard Sabin of Biotecture U.K. delivered a keynote introduction to this topic followed by an interactive Q&A session with practitioners such as Helix Pflanzensysteme GmbH who are pioneering new mobile green infrastructure solutions for urban settings.
