Building on the momentum generated from years of work by many across the region, the Living Earth Collaborative is hosting a forum where symposium speakers and participants can share aspirational visions for our city, issues that have hindered us, and programs that are addressing these issues. The plenary speaker will be Dr. Timothy Beatley, founder of the Biophilic Cities network.

Working groups will explore a variety of topics to help define what can make Saint Louis the Nature City of the 21st Century. Potential topics include biodiversity, urban planning, solutions to extreme weather, climate, and more. Help us show that our city can become a model of harnessing nature-based solutions for the betterment of both people and the environment.

This event is by invitation only.

People of all abilities are welcome and encouraged to attend all events hosted by the Living Earth Collaborative. If you require a reasonable accommodation to participate in this program, please contact the Living Earth Collaborative at least 5 business days before the event at  livingearth@wustl.edu.
