Managing public green spaces means enhancing an asset of profound social, ecological, and economic value. Faced with the climate crisis, defining concrete strategies to ensure resilient and liveable cities is an urgent priority.
Created through the synergy between Fiere di Parma and the Italian Association of Public Parks Directors and Technicians (AIDTPG), this conference promotes direct dialogue among public administrations to outline future sector prospects, in alignment with Article 9 of the Italian Constitution.
Guided by internationally renowned agronomist Giovanni Morelli—who will incorporate the novel “plants’ point of view” into the analysis—speakers will address key industry themes: climate impact, financial resources, Urban Green Plans, service procurement, and professional training.
Case Studies & Best Practices: Milan, Turin, Parma, Siena, Cesenatico, and the Province of Mantua.
