Green Adelaide is the new organisation aiming to deliver a “cooler, greener, wilder and climate-resilient metropolitan Adelaide”, and they’ve just released their first 5-year strategic plan.
But will it work?
Urban greening is far more complex than planting a few trees. Households, businesses, builders, landscape architects, planners, utility companies, local governments, and many more have an impact on how green we can be. And the barriers and pathways to a greener city may surprise you.
At this event, we will interrogate the realities of what is required to green our city, and whether Green Adelaide has the right settings to achieve its grand ambitions.
The event will be held on Friday 16 April 2021 ahead of the consultation closing date of Tuesday 20 April 2021. Attendees are encouraged to review the plan and have your say here.
