Putting Nature at the Heart of Urban Design and Planning | 17 June 2026 | University of Stirling
Following on from a successful 2023 conference, this one-day event will bring together the people shaping Scotland’s next generation of greener, climate resilient urban spaces. Hear the latest updates from built environment and green infrastructure experts and gain practical insights you can apply straight away.
The conference, co-curated by Future Woodlands Scotland, the Trees and Design Action Group and the Institute of Chartered Foresters, will be chaired by Karen Anderson FRSE, President of the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, for whom the subject is of great personal interest.
With thought-provoking talks, real world examples and a collaborative design challenge at its heart, the event is a space to learn, connect and drive meaningful change in how we create nature-rich towns and cities.
