Date and Time
Online policy series: Green Dreams in Peripheral Development.
From time immemorial, people have used peripheries to extract different types of resources. Some peripheries became valuable because of particular structural conditions, whereas others were rich in desirable and valuable ecologies and geologies. Green Dreams in Peripheral Development explores these issues, convening policy-makers, practitioners and academics. We seek to collectively ask questions about the lived experiences, migrations, planning and development challenges that arise when peripheries are used as a resource, and to co-produce principles and next steps for policy.
Webinar 1: Wednesday 29th January, 13.00-14.30 GMT / 14.00-15.30 CET
Green Dreams Policy Huddle.
The Policy Huddle is designed to enable networking and knowledge exchange between academics and policy practitioners with an interest in green infrastructure projects and their impacts on peripheral places. Invited speakers will give short talks and provocations about their work, needs, challenges and opportunities, and we will facilitate group discussions about how to collectively address these issues.
The outcomes of these conversations will set the agenda for our Green Dreams in Peripheral Development Webinar.
